Review of Women Making Music: Joan Baez
Woodstock icon Joan Baez in an interview without an interviewer. There is plenty of her music in between. She hasn't listened to herself for years and finds it now like listening to somewhere else.
This is an interesting straight-forward piece on Joan. Great for any flower-power theme, or show that fits her vocal or political style or a Woodstock reference or anniversary. This is part of the "Women Making Music" series, so of course it fits that theme perfectly as well.
