Joan Baez ‎– The Joan Baez Ballad Book

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON VANGUARD 1972.

VSD 41 42 made in US. 2xLP Gatefold cover.
Vinyl VG++. Cover VG++.

At a time when Baez was changing labels and branching into contemporary folk and country styles, Joan Baez Ballad Book harks back to her roots. Vanguard released this generous compilation of traditional Anglo-American folk ballads (culled from Baez's early-'60s material) as a double-LP (later reissued as two separate LPs). Taken en masse, the performances cement Baez's reputation as a premier interpreter of traditional song. Her signature sound is laid out here in all its simplicity: the haunting, crystalline soprano accompanied by sparse acoustic guitar.
