Joan Baez cut her teeth and created her reputation at the Newport Folk Festivals in the early 1960s.This 17-song collection allows fans of Baez to sample her star-making 1963, 1964, and 1965 sets. (She'd first appeared at the event as a teenager in 1959 as the teenage guest of Bob Gibson.)The compilation mixes more traditional songs such as 'Come All Ye Fair' and 'Tender Maidens' with grittier Bob Dylan tunes. Baez demonstrates how she came to define folk music for a generation of female folksingers. Duets with Dylan, Mary Travers, Peter Yarrow, and the Lilly Brothers provide some extra texture to complement Baez's unique soprano. Track listing:1. FAREWELL, ANGELINA2. LONG BLACK VEIL3.
