Comments for Baez, Joan, Joan Baez-5

received praise from classical music fams for Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 by Villa-Lobos - positively haunting. could be best classical performance by a popular artist.

Richard Farina's "Birmingham Sunday," was originally written about a bomb set off in an Alabama church during the Civil Rights Struggle of the early '60s; however, with the recent church burnings in the south, this song is (sadly) still quite timely.

Joan''s version of "It Ain''t Me Babe" blows Dylan''s away-AWESOME!

Nice mix of traditional with (then) current work by Dylan, Phil Ochs and Richard Farina.

I got a hundred sites that show Joan Baez performing "Birmingham Sunday", but does anyone out there know who WROTE the song originally. All I know is that it was a civil rights song. Guy Carawan came up in a couple of searches I did. Been in Kinkos for three hours hunting for the author of that song. HELP!!!! ljmagnuson@aol.com, or leave a comment here. I'm desperate. I play and sing that song, and would like to credit the author ... Lynn
