Editorial Review:Amazon.com essential recording:Before Joan Baez, the closest thing to a white female folksinger was Jo Stafford. Baez made her professional debut in 1959 at the Newport Folk Festival and started recording for Vanguard the next year. Her early association with Bob Dylan and performances of his songs did him no harm. The material in this CD comes from later in her career, when she had left Vanguard for A&M. Listeners who enjoy this CD will probably want to hear her earlier work. She is among the classic American voices.

'Greatest Hits' is a good (not perfect) overview of Joan's A&M years - which, other reviewers fail to understand, do not encompass her popular 1971 Blessed Are... album (the one that includes the original version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.") By the way, I recommend Ace Records' Best of the Vanguard Years to survey Joan's early years. All of her original Vanguard LP's have been reissued, too.
But, my point here to is correct two aspects of the liner notes and track selection. ...

There is only one voice of Joan Baez. Her protest songs of the 1960s were her best in my opinion.

This was very disappointing. "Amazing Grace" was a sing-a-long. Just awful. I don't want to hear sing-a-long over and over on a recording!!! I'd get "Diamonds and Rust" if I could do it over again.
