EXTREMELY COMPLETE AND DETAILED Sandra D.

She is an enigma to those who are products of the 70's and 80's because folk music, true folk music, appears to be a dying art with each new generation.Joan is not only a unique and talented artist but also well known for her compassion and activism in speaking our for social rights of those wronged by poverty and political injustice. Her songs have meaning, depth and a story to tell. This book is one of the most complete and detailed accounts of Joan'. A Wonderful Resource I was introduced to Ms. Baez's music by an old, dear friend. When I found this book online, and purchased it, I was elated. It was like visiting with my friend all over again.

A must read for any Baez-o-phile!I only wish my friend's email address was that easy to find
