Her studio Farewell Angelina is one of my favorite songs of all time. Haunting and her delivery is perfect.

Baez is wildly underrated, having been overwhelmed by the succeeding waves of great 60s music she helped pave the way for, and typecast as possessor of a great natural voice but not much more. In time she will be rediscovered and take her rightful place among the pantheon of fabulous talent from that era, I believe.

Also a big fan of Blood on the Tracks and as I was reading the other posts it just occurred to me: I always took the title to refer to railroad tracks...but it could refer to the tracks of an album. As for great covers, it's hard to top Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower".

I always liked PPM's Blowin' in the Wind and Too Much of Nothing. Also Fairport Convention's Percy's Song. Hard too to argue with the Byrds' My Back Pages and Mr. Tambourine Man.

Yes, "Blowin' in the Wind" was a classic as was "Mr. Tambourine Man". And in a weird way so was the Four Seasons' "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)". I'm sure when I heard the last two on the radio, I did not know they were Dylan covers, being more familiar with top-40 radio than the concept of albums.
