Folk Revival
Baez was at the center of the new folk revival that started in the early 1960s. After making her debut at the Newport Folk Festival, Baez became romantically involved with fellow troubadour Bob Dylan, with whom she performed and recorded a number of times. Throughout the '60s and '70s, Baez was one of the premiere singer/songwriters in music and helped influence a generation of new female performers, including Emmylou Harris and Joni Mitchell.Covers
While a successful songwriter in her own right, Baez has also covered songs by a number of other artists, including Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Steve Earle and Ryan Adams.-
