11:05 Marty Duda's Artist of the Week - Joan Baez
Joan Baez made her first major impression at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival when she was 19 years old. She quickly became one of the most important folk singers of the era along with another guy known as Bob Dylan. For a while, Baez’s and Dylan’s personal and private lives were intertwined with the couple performing together and Joan recording many of Dylan’s songs. She also made a big impression at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival and scored a million-selling single in 1971 with her version of The Band’s 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'. The '70s found her reunited with Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue where she would perform her song inspired by their relationship, 'Diamonds & Rust'. Since then Joan Baez has kept going with a steady stream of albums and live performances. She is due to perform at Auckland’s Civic Theatre this Thursday.
