Joan Chandos Baez(/baɪz/; born
January 9, 1941) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and activist. Her
contemporary
folk music often includes songs of protest and social justice. Baez
has performed publicly for over 60 years, releasing more than 30 albums. Fluent
in Spanish and English, she has also recorded songs in at least six other
languages.
Baez is generally regarded as a folk singer, but her
music has diversified since the counterculture
era of the 1960s and encompasses genres such
as folk rock, pop, country, and gospel music. She
began her recording career in 1960 and achieved immediate success. Her first
three albums, Joan Baez, Joan Baez, Vol. 2 and Joan Baez in
Concert, all achieved gold record status. Although a songwriter herself, Baez generally interprets
other composers' work, having recorded songs by the Allman
Brothers Band, the Beatles,
Jackson Browne, Leonard Cohen, Woody Guthrie, Violeta Parra, the Rolling Stones,
Pete Seeger, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, and
many others. She was one of the first major artists to record the songs of Bob Dylan in the
early 1960s; Baez was already an internationally celebrated artist and did much
to popularize his early songwriting efforts. On her later albums she has found
success interpreting the work of more recent songwriters, including Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Steve Earle, Natalie Merchant, and Joe Henry.
Baez's acclaimed songs include "Diamonds
& Rust" and covers of Phil Ochs's "There but for
Fortune" and The Band's
"The Night
They Drove Old Dixie Down". She is also known
for "Farewell,
Angelina", "Love Is Just
a Four-Letter Word", "Forever Young",
"Here's to You",
"Joe Hill", "Sweet Sir Galahad"
and "We Shall Overcome".
Baez performed fourteen songs at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and has displayed a lifelong commitment to political and social
activism in the fields of nonviolence,
civil rights, human rights,
and the environment.
Baez was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017.
