American singer-songwriter and activist Joan Baez was born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York. Known for her soprano voice, three-octave range, and distinct vibrato, she started as a folk singer but has since explored various genres including rock, pop, country, and gospel. Her influence helped propel Bob Dylan's early career. In 2017, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Joan Baez is the daughter of Albert Baez and Joan Baez Sr., younger sister of Pauline Marden, and older sister of Mimi Farina who is also a folk musician. She had a romantic relationship with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s before marrying David Harris from 1968 to 1974. Together they have a son named Gabriel Harris.

Box Sets

There was a moment in 1987, when a feisty and driven Joan Baez thought, "enough is enough." She rolled up her sleeves and accepted an offer from artist manager and label executive Danny Goldberg to join his latest start-up, Gold Castle, and start making records again. That decision led to three albums whose reappearance in 2016 should be cause for no small amount of rejoicing in Joan Baez circles, especially by those who might've been looking the other way (musically, most likely), or just missed them entirely the first time around. So quickly did they seem to come and go. The 33 collective tracks contained on Recently (originally released July 1987), Diamonds &amp; Rust In The Bullring (recorded live in Bilbao, Spain, 1988, released April 1989), and Speaking Of Dreams (November 1989) hold their own as some of the greatest song selection sequences of Joan's entire discography. And that's saying a lot, considering the scholarship and timeliness of material to be found on her (other) 30 or so principal career albums, studio and live. All three Gold Castle titles were produced by Alan Abrahams at Capitol Records Studios in Hollywood. The Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame states that: Joan Baez breathed new life into folk music in the 1960s, powering rock music's turn toward social and political consciousness. Baez's unwavering dedication to activism shows that volume isn't the only way to be loud - and totally rock and roll. In a career spanning over 55 years and over 30 albums, Joan Baez is still touring and still mesmerising audiences all over the world. Her social activism has provoked and inspired, encouraging many other performers who followed to stand up for their beliefs.
