Joan Baez - Baez Sings Baez, Volume 2: 1972-1975 (A Fabio from Rio Guest Post)

Here's another guest post by Fabio from Rio. Joan Baez is mostly known as a singer of songs written by others. But Fabio has put together five volumes of songs written or co-written by Baez, showing that she's actually a pretty talented songwriter. Here's the second volume.

I don't have much to say, because Fabio has written extensive notes, which are included in the download file. But I'll just point out that Baez proved herself to be a talented songwriter by writing the classic "Diamonds and Rust," which was a hit in 1975. And that song is included here.  

All the songs here come from official releases. So naturally the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and 19 minutes long.

I don't know any details about the cover photo, except that it's from 1973. Fabio picked it.
