One of Joan's best songs and what a great songwriter Bob Dylan is. Joan has a truly beautiful voice.

[@joewestfall1486]

That downright brings tears to my eyes. Lovely music

[@Allan264]

I met Joan back in 1958 when we were both 17, before she became famous. I heard her singing in Harvard Sq and we spoke briefly. Her voice and her face were incredibly beautiful, I thought, and I have never changed my mind in all these years since. This song is one of my favorites, although to be honest there are literally dozens of her songs that I count as my favorites. Such a voice, such a face, such a life. Thanks for uploading this lovely composite of music and pictures!

Beautiful voice ,what an amazing woman ❤

[@lanalorenzen]

I have three CDs of Joan Baez. I've been re-listening to them recently. Many of her songs are renditions of the works of Bob Dylan. The thought occurred to me that the lyrics of Dylan ring especially true today. We still live in a world at war with itself, pollution, an ever-lengthening and dangerous drought; crime and impoverishment; private prisons making profits from the suffering of others; unattainable health care; and the litany goes on.

[@jonolsen418]

I saw her in 1960 when she was 20, at Bates College. She had us totally captivated. You could hear a pin drop each time she finished a song. Another time in Honolulu a few years later.

[@chinmoykonar1339]

Alweer "a timeless masterpiece". Alweer een sublieme Bob Dylan compositie... die door diverse anderen mooi & knap werden gezongen....met vaak een rijker en mooiklinkend arrangement... B D is een verdiende Nobelprijswinnaar van Literatuur... veel van zijn songs zijn gebalde romans... ongelooflijk knap... met hele knappe vondsten erin! Te bewonderen! Blij dat ik kan genieten van het "uitzonderlijk knappe" in heel wat Dylan songs... Knappe performance van Joan Baez!

[@hilarycortes1143]

When was your grandfather born? Was he a hippie? What singers did your grandfather listen to? How old did your grandfather die?

[@arfdolph12]

I've listened to this version by Joan Baez about 201 times. This is by far the very best version of this song. One of Bob Dylan's best writings. Funny how no one heard Dylan;s version until long after the song was covered many times. Just love Joan--she's the best!

[@GeorgeLedyard]

Dylan was a poet genius... to write lines like this and set to music as well like that... Maybe only Springstein and a couple of others over the years could do that. But the best versions of all his songs were largely sung by other folks. Between the Byrds, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul, and Mary you could hear both the poetic nature of his verse and the beauty of his melody, Which just didn't quite come through when he sang the songs himself. It was always the Joan Baez renditions that gave me that spine tingling sense of uncontainable beauty. It was either this song or Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands which were my two favorites. These songs still touch me, now in my sixties, in a way that nothing else has since.

[@keithphilo6255]

Joan certainly makes Bobs majestic poetry clearer and much more beautiful

[@vividhkothari1]

Yes, Joan certainly sings his songs beautifully, but I would never agree with that Bob couldn't bring touch like Joan. Both of their sounds are different. Bob has a rough, country-music voice, she has a more like a melodious type. You can enjoy both without saying which one is better.

[@ME-ty8rv]

Joan Baez really has an great impresive voice.... love the songs and the lyrics ... and that even though the songs are old people are still listening ... greetings from Germany ...

[@HermanLabuschagne]

Who thinks of lyric lines such as "farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave..."? And who paints imagery like, "see the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun, shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shogun."? Then he adds, "And the neighbours they clap and they cheer with each blast. But farewell Angelina the sky's changing colour and I must leave fast..." I cannot begin to choose my favourite line. There are too many. Bob was the master and Joan was a fantasy.

[@ardalla535]

One of Dylan's best for sure. No one can produce and assemble such an array of images and make it work as well as Bob. And he has done it over and over again, decade after decade. What's even more amazing is I get the impression that he wrote this in about 30 mins and it was not that big a deal for him at the time.

[@HermanLabuschagne]

Yes, Bob Dylan struck me as an accidental poet - His lines were unglazed by false pretense. So often the brightest an artist will ever shine is during the dark hours when he does not care about being seen.

[@vividhkothari1]

Believe it or not my father introduced me to J Baez in the early 60s (I was only 13 at the time) I started going to Greenwivh Village in NYC and had the privlage to see her and many other folk greats. Her voice is as clear as a bell and as pure as mountain spring water see is truely one of the greates folk singer of her generation of her time. I saw her again at Woodstock in 69. Her renditiond of any B Dylan song it a tribut to his writing and they project the changing time of the 60s.

[@bluecuracao6478]

Her voice is like a fresh river with water of life in harsh mountains

[@GingerNinjaPhil]

How can you say it's a nonsense song? There is an ocean of sense roaring in this song! It's a 'Farewell' song of the finest tradition....sensitive to the ears of those left behind, while the leaver bids farewell for reasons private only to himself, blaming no one for his departure, but wishing to leave on the best terms. Absolutely awesome! and Joan does it so much justice. Love it!

[@LindenStead1844MbdTuB]

When I was at University I was brought up on a diet of Bob Dylan; Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez! Joan had the most perfect voice for this genre of music and I used to sit for hours listening to her. I only wish that in some of her later concerts she would sing some of these older songs - they were so good and evocative of the time! Being based in the UK we don't always see the concerts she has done but in the ones that we do see I would really love to see her performing these older songs as they are just as relevant today! We are not facing nuclear disaster or the Vietnam War but we are facing Covid-19, a pandemic that threatens to wipe out more people than died in the Vietnam War and the Korean War put together!!! These songs, whether written by Joan or Bob Dylan or Buffy St Marie still have a resonance today but for different reasons! Let's not forget them!!

You will find many of his original settings and traditional ones on KZbin. A good example is « So We’ll Go No More a-Roving » with lyrics by Lord Byron and original music by RD-B. A very few rare Sven Scholander clips (in Swedish with no subtitles) are even on KZbin. A very good biography of R.D-B. was published, titled « The Last Minstrel » (actually referring towards Sven Scholander).
