Joan Baez lp

Recorded in October of 1968, Any Day Now marks Joan Baez's first foray into the recording studios of Nashville, armed with an entire program of Bob Dylan's material and backed by a stellar cast of Music City's finest session players.

With the Vietnam War winding down, Joan Baez, who had devoted one side of her last album to her trip to Hanoi, delivered the kind of commercial album A&M Records must have wanted when it signed her three years earlier.

Featuring "Diamonds And Rust", "Gracias A La Vida (Here's To Life)"
A&M's 1977 collection The Best of Joan Baez doesn't chronicle her most influential work, but that doesn't mean it's not without merit.

The album represented a further shift from the strictly traditional folk music with which Baez had begun her career in that, for the first time, she included electric backup in the form of Bruce Langhorne's electric guitar (which was nonetheless subtle).

Featuring "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"
Hits / Greatest & Others by Joan Baez is a compilation of great hits made during her years on the Vanguard label.

This album contains otherwise unavailable live performances taken from the October 3, 1970, Big Sur Folk Festival held in Monterey, CA, at the same fairgrounds that hosted the Monterey International Pop Festival three years earlier.
