Since her impromptu appearance on the stage at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival, Joan Baez has held a unique position in popular music. Within three years, she had recorded three best-selling albums and embarked on a tour of southern US campuses, performing to integrated audiences in an era of segregation. When Time magazine featured the folk revival in its November 1962 edition, her portrait graced the cover. Her voice was as lustrous and rich as old gold. She has mentored generations of singer-songwriters, most notably Bob Dylan.
But Joan Baez is much more than just a singer. Even before she stood on the podium beside Dr. Martin Luther King at the March on Washington, her voice was raised in sorrow and anger as well as in song. The causes for which she has campaigned are legion, and it's no surprise that she was chosen to open Live Aid in Philadelphia in 1985. In 1993, amid the siege of Bosnia, she donned a flak jacket to sing for the citizens of Sarajevo, offering, as so many times before and since, an act of love, sharing, witness, and music.
Now approaching 80, Baez has stepped down from the stage following a worldwide farewell tour and a final Grammy-nominated album. The Last Leaf is a celebration of a timeless figure whose music and influence will endure long after her voice is silenced. The Discography is by Grammy-nominated music historian Arthur Levy.
Joan Baez is the recipient of the 2020 Woody Guthrie Prize.
