Joan is Joan, one of the best singers of that era. Beautiful voice.
One of her biggest hits was "the night they drove old dixie down", but I never figured out her interest in Dixie.

@earl-of-trumps saidDixie was written by Robbie Robertson of "The Band". It fit in with Baez's selection of "folk" songs, even if it was from 100 years before. (the Civil War era)
