Fifty years after her stunning debut at the Newport Folk Festival, Joan Baez remains a musical force of nature whose influence is incalculable. Her voice is part of the soundtrack of a generation, and her commitment to social justice helped form its conscience. She marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired Václav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic, sang on the first Amnesty International tour, and stood alongside Nelson Mandela on his ninetieth birthday in London's Hyde Park. She brought the '60s Free Speech Movement into the spotlight, organized resistance to the war in Southeast Asia, and forty years later saluted the Dixie Chicks for their courage to protest war. Her earliest recordings fed a host of traditional ballads into the rock vernacular, and she unself-consciously introduced Bob Dylan to the world in 1963 in an effort to bring attention to songwriters that continues to this day. Hers is a journey of the spirit, told with intimacy and passion as Baez shares her introduction to folk music and her baptism as its first female star in the coffee houses of Cambridge, Massachusetts. She recounts her musical and personal entwinement with Bob Dylan; her marriage to David Harris, and their painful breakup; and the joy she found upon the birth of her son, Gabriel. With a new introduction by acclaimed music critic Anthony DeCurtis, And a Voice to Sing With is the story of an American cultural icon. Marked by the openness and vulnerability that have touched us in her music, and the passion and integrity that have informed her politics, this is a disarmingly frank and stirring memoir of the life and work of one of the most extraordinary performers of our time.
Sincerely I'm disappointed.This's one of rare memoirs makes me impatient with character. Ms Baez isn't a good writer. This's much lousy than her lyrics. She is honest and shows her big egos with pride...Sincerely I'm disappointed.This's one of rare memoirs makes me impatient with character. Ms Baez isn't a good writer.

Baez大婶的回忆录终于有中译本了，2011年4月6日，我在工体听Bob Dylan的演唱会，我知道整场观众里只有我一个人包里装着Dylan和Baez的两本自传。第二天写了一篇豆瓣日记，回想往事，岁月如歌！ Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both kno...

对于“琼·贝兹”这个名字，想来我们大都是由一首著名歌曲《钻石与铁锈》（Diamond and Rust）而初识，正如歌名一样：她如钻石般闪耀，如铁锈般坚毅；也如她自己所说：我并不完美，但我过着非凡的人生。 [Diamonds & Rust] 琼·贝兹 如很多天才，也如很多平凡之人，童年的...

终于啃完奶奶的书了，断断续续两三个月，感叹奶奶的人生真是丰富，诞生她的人生主线只有两样东西，那就是family和democracy！所以做人一定要执着于某些东西，才会活的有意义！

如果我还更诚实，应该还减半星。一为写作本身。二是事件感受本身。对生活本身无评价权。而最直接的原因应该是看过了phil ochs的传记吧，有心结了。
