Joan Baez Blowin Away

Joan Baez is a Mexican-born American citizen born in 1941 in New York. His father is a physics teacher and his mother tells a drama story at university. There were also ministers in the ascending branches of his family. She studied guitar at Boston University and gained a thorough but not virtuoso guitar knowledge. She began to take folk music more seriously around 1958. He accompanied his excellent singing voice with the playing of his acoustic guitar. Her first major performance was in 1959 at the Newport Folk Festival. Her talent was noticed by the Vanguard company and they soon found contact with each other. Shortly after the contract was signed, her first album, named after the singer, was released. On this disc is the song We Shall Overcome, which has become the anthem of left-wing youth because of what she has to say. In 1963, there was a massive demonstration in Vashington; the enthusiastic crowd sang We Shall Overcome. With her current politically charged songs, she became the number one folk protest singer in the US. In the 1960s, she worked with the country’s greatest folk musician, Bob Dylan.
