A friend's older brother bought Baez 1&2 when they were first released. I was pre teens and it was the first real music I had heard (apart from "The Laughing Policeman" and "Sparky's Magic Piano") and started a 40ish year love of folk music. Mary Hamilton and Geordie were beautiful but the best from the early years (ever?) was Birmingham Sunday. It had a great effect on me (a callow and probably objectionable teenager at the time) and showed me the power of a song. Later, of course, Diamonds and Rust. Why has nobody mentioned the great Dylan impression in Simple Twist of Fate on D and R. I can't believe I'm the only one who has spotted it.
