Every line is! I knew someone who knew Dylan and she says Joan's lyric "eyes bluer than robins' eggs" is spot on. Before this song, everyone was speculating that "Tangled Up In Blue" and the whole "Blood On The Tracks" album was about Joan, so this was her "answer" song, even though I don't think that was actually the case about B.O.T.T. (she covered "Simple Twist Of Fate" on the same album, and does a killer Dylan impression in the middle of it!)

Joan and Bob were a couple early in Bob's career. Back then, she was more famous than he. I don't think Joan ever got over the breakup. Bob called her up out of nowhere and she wrote this song. They wrote more songs about each other and not too friendly, especially on her end. Breakups are never easy, but it inspired this song by Joan Baez, her greatest composition IMO.

I get goosebumps every time I hear Joan Baez sing this song. Had she never done any other song, she made her mark with this one, a classic forever.

Good seeing Joan on the channel. She is a 1960's 70's icon. What a voice. Relationships with Dylan and Jobs. She had a sister (Mimi Farina)who also did folk/rockfolk and opened many times for Cat Stevens. Thanks Stephen.

Baez has a beautiful voice; she played at Woodstock and was one of the best known folk singers of the 1960s and 1970s

Joan Baez's father was born in Mexico and moved to New York City as a child.Her mother was Scottish. Albert Baez, her father, was a physicist who invented the X-Ray microscope.

In a recent recording of the song, she changed "ten year ago", to "fifty years ago". Also in 2009 in a performance she changed the last line from "I've already paid" to "Well I'll take the Grammy".

Always did like Joan Baez. I remember the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" which was done by the group "The Band" but Joan Baez's version was a big hit. This is Diamonds and Rust is a great tune.

Joan had a serious relationship with Steve Jobs in the 1980s. They remained close friends after the relationship ended and she sang at his memorial.

Joan Baez is simply amazing. I’ve seen her perform live a few times since the mid 60’s. Always seems to mesmerize the audience with her presence and that voice.

Arguably the finest song ever written and sung about the arc of a love affair. Genius.

In a recent interview with QMI Agency, folk icon Joan Baez was asked what she thought of JUDAS PRIEST's classic cover of her song "Diamonds And Rust", which can be found on the band's 1977 album "Sin After Sin". "I love that!" she replied. "I was so stunned when I first heard it. I thought it was wonderful. It's very rare for people to cover my songs. I think there are a couple of reasons. One is they're personal - they don't have a universal quality to them. And I think maybe it's because I've already sung them, and who wants to compete with that? But it's always flattering when somebody does."

Judas also played a fleetwood mac song on unleashed in the east

One of my favorites of all songs, and one of the first I learned on guitar. From this album I might also recommend "Forever Young" and "Love Song to a Stranger". All her songs from Woodstock are essentials. She is essential. Heroic. And still a force of nature. I hope she appears on your show and gives you an interview. She can bring her chum, Bonnie, with her. Then Joni will also have to appear. And Annie. And Grace. It will be a Lovefest!

As mentioned Joan and Bob were together for a few years, and their split wasn't a friendly one. Bob did a few very caustic tunes about her. He called out of the blue in the mid 70s , and this song was about her reaction. Incredibly beautiful, powerful song. (I'd say tribute, but it's not really a tribute per se)

I love this album 💕 ... I was just 18 in 76'

Joan By-Yez was my first concert in 1969, 7th grade. I was traveling in France about 12 years ago and saw that she was going to play in a little bar near Lake Annecy over 40 years later.

That was the year that her draft resister husband David Harris spoke to our high school class (back when high school students were allowed to learn about the world) about the Vietnam war and why he refused to fight. Joan was that rare mix of incredible talent and steely conscience.

Her use of the B7 chord in this song makes this song and inspired me to add my own B7 in a song I wrote.

Try a B+7 or B7#5 same thing. It doesn't work for Diamonds and Rust but maybe your song.

Joan and Bob sang songs at Dr. King's March on Washington when he delivered the 'I Have A Dream Speech.' Joan's younger sister, Mimi, was married to Richard Fariña and they performed together and Richard was killed in a motorcycle accident on April 30, 1966, Mimi's bday! Bob Dylan then had his own motorcycle accident that really changed the course of music history! on July 29, 1966......a tumultuous year for Bob as he was heckled for 'going electric' on the well documented tour of Great Britain. A book of course has probably been written! Check out the movie.

I bought this single when I was a teen. Liked to play the guitar on it. Still like it.

Nick, you admired the guitar playing in the song. Larry Carlton and Dean Parks were the guitarists on this album.

Back in the 50s and early 60s a lot of concerts were more like a variety show where the acts would play their latest hit. So you would have folk shows with Joan, Bob and Joni with others going from city to city with the show. You even had James Brown and The Rolling Stones on the same bill together.

Great song. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!❤

Baez was lovely as well. The haters who say she is not talented, furumph.

This is such a beautiful song and a great tribute to BD. I saw Joan at Glastonbury in 1984 (?), she was very inspirational.

To see more of the interaction between Bob and Joan, I suggest the Bob Dylan movie, Don't look back. Released in 1967, the movie documents a 1965 tour of England. Joan and Bob were a couple then. Though the movie is mostly about Bob (and a fantastic one at that), you get several scenes of Bob and Joan in their hotel.

Him treating her pretty lousy! That was at the end (of that part) of their relationship, although they were always in each other's lives. After this song, they'd get together again during the Rolling Thunder tour, as his marriage to Sara was breaking up. In fact, I believe they were an item when they did the live "Hard Rain" album/video 'circa '76....and if memory is correct, Sara showed up at the concert and caught them backstage, or something like that, it's been a while since that dirty laundry was aired, lol! But this song was not the end of Bob and Joan! She used to sing this song on the Rolling Thunder tour!!!!!! lol

"My poetry was lousy, you said." HA!

Hey Stephen, what a great request. I’ve always loved this song remember hearing it on the radio and buying the album. A great reaction by Nick and Lex, a bit of a tearjerker and really fun with all the deep references to the relationship between Joan and Bob. Larry Carlton did the arrangement for the instruments on this album and the album did go Gold. Another interesting story to this is the quality of the album is responsible for Larry Carlton meeting Steely Dan. Walter and Donald invited Larry over to play a track for Katie lied. It was the last track they were cutting and Larry was only needed for a rhythm guitar part. He got it down and it was easy and it was a perfect match. their ideas musically chill very well together . So Larry and Walter went outside to get aquatinted better and we’re sitting there and Larry said so why did you invite me over having been one of the established LA players he was curious why they were inviting him now. So Walter told him “I hate Joan Baez’s music and I wanted to meet the guy who can make her sound that good . So after that, they used Larry on the Royal scam and everything afterwards. So thanks Joan. I think you’re great and you helped introduce Larry to Walter and Donald. There is a fun little KZread video of Larry telling the story. He tells it much better than me. Suggest to check it out. Something to the effect of how Larry Carlton Steely Dan. ❤️❤️

OMG that's the first Judas Priest album I ever heard. I love how fast they played it on Unleashed vs the very slow version on Sin after sin.

Bob Dylan and Joan Baez both came out of the poetry and folk songs of Greenwich Village in NYC where the beatnik counter culture was evolving. Baez, Dylan and others would play coffee shops with Woodie Guthrie type songs. Baez was better known at the time but by the mid-60's Dylan had burst on the scene.

Joan Baez was a worldwide star when Dylan started out playing the Village. The Village was not Joan Baez's scene, she was the Queen of Folk (and helped make it popular) starting in 1958, she came up through the Boston folk scene, not the Village, and was world famous before Bob set foot in NYC.

Sin After Sin is actually Judas Priest's third album. The song was recorded during the sessions for Sad Wings of Destiny, the second album. The debut was Rocka Rolla from 1974 and is not recorded that well. Edit: it has been added to some remasters of Rocka Rolla for unknown reasons. Joan on yheir cover: "I love that! I was so stunned when I first heard it. I thought it was wonderful. It's very rare for people to cover my songs. I think there are a couple of reasons.

I've been hearing this song for years. And I've loved the song for years. But hearing it with you two has made it like hearing it for the first time. Thank you!

Bought this album when it came out both my wife and I are fans and have seen her many times.

Oh my God, Stephen. I hadn’t heard this in decades. This brought back all the pain of young heartbreak that I experienced way back when. Perhaps the most profound song about lost love ever written. Made me feel 19 all over again. Thanks?

Joan was the real deal. guitar and voice. on the cover of mags like ' Time' in early 1960's. in high school argued against the foolish ' quick - kids here come the Nukes, duck under yer desks' . I intended to go out and play ball. of Course, put Her life on the line marching with M.L.K. . on and on. check the orig. 'Woodstock' flick song ' Joe Hill.' J.B. was the main advertising star for Woodstock where I lived, central N.Y. finally, She was on Dylans tour ' rolling thunder ' of about the same time as this disc . oh - Her sister Mimi was also a pro singer, sad died early.

Her last name is pronounced with two syllables: buy-ezz. In addition to having relationships with Dylan and Steve Jobs, she was, for a time, in a relationship with Mickey Hart, one of the drummers in the Grateful Dead.

I had this album back in the day, the song still raises the hair on the back of my neck. Fortunate that I saw her once live.

Check out Joan singing The President Sang Amazing Grace. ""The President Sang Amazing Grace" is a 2016 song written by Zoe Mulford. It was inspired by the Charleston church shooting of 2015. The song recounts the moment when President Barack Obama broke into an impromptu performance of the hymn "Amazing Grace" while delivering the eulogy for Clementa C. Pinckney.[1] Obama delivered the eulogy for Clementa C. Pinckney at the TD Arena of the College of Charleston on 26 June 2015.[2] Pinckney was one of the nine victims of the June 2015 shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. During his eulogy Obama recited the words of the hymn "Amazing Grace" before breaking down in tears and singing the hymn unprompted.[1] The song was written by the folk singer and songwriter Zoe Mulford." wikipedia

It's not just Joan's best song, it is among the best songs ever written. And also Joan's guitar playing - I think she is on that acoustic - here is the best ever. I've heard Judas Priest's version earlier. That is among the best ever covers. And you pronounced well her name.😊

Folk music wasn't high on my list of genres listened to back then. But somehow this album made it on to my turntable and I fell in love with it. It's still an album I enjoy listening to in it's entirety. Just a really solid album.

She was a star the Dylan listen to on the radio, already a big name. She boosted him buy covering his songs.

She's an excellent guitar player herself. She plays this live just her and the guitar. Bought this album new and still have it,

I too only knew of Priest's version and had no idea it was even a cover, until one day I bought Joan Baez's greatest hits and this was on it. And it blew my doors off. I like all kinds of music but just from a tone setting and musical composition standpoint, this blows it away. You can bang your head to Priest, but on this one your bones are knocking together on their own. Haunting masterpiece.

Beautiful melody, I could see that song being done in any style. Never listened to Joan b4, as much as i heard about her. Not a dissapointment. Might add to playlist definitely will check out more.

This song is poetic and musical genius. Nothing else to say.

You may want to try a few more songs Joan wrote about Dylan: To Bobby, Winds of the Old Days, O Brother!, Time Is Passing Us By

You should check out All My Trials. Joan's voice is so haunting in that song.

Another gem of hers (that's rarely ever mentioned) is "Blessed Are". I also really love her version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Great reaction!

It's said the Band Judas Priest took their name from a Bob Dylan song named ''The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest'' from the album John Wesley Harding - a country folk style set of songs .... worth hearing and to add to the Dylan mystique ...

Suze Rotolo was his muse. Sara was his muse. Clydie King would later be his muse. And I think that's ridiculous beyond all words to call the three years they spent together "the most creative of his career", his whole career has been "creative" and unpredictable. Personally I think his "Dylan Goes Electric" period is one of his most boring and overrated. I love all periods of Bob, up till the mid-80s, but those three years are far from my favorites. PS: I can't think of a single song Dylan wrote about Joan Baez. "Blood On The Tracks" was reputed to be about her, but that was fans just projecting what they thought the songs were about.

The voice of a folk singer. Well established before Dylan, he went on to be the most famous folk singer, and far beyond

What you are missing (and what Judas Priest left out in their interpretation) , is the bitterness in her song. They had a brief love, and then he treated her horribly. That is reflected in her song. When he said her poetry was lousy, she was crushed - although years later he did complement her for this song. She didn't talk to him for years until this phone call out of the blue inspired this bittersweet song, but you're missing the sadness in her lyrics and I could tell by your reaction. Probably because you don't know their stories.

Joan with one of the most beautiful , recognizable voices in music and an active war protestor was arrested more than once for speaking to draftees , telling them they didn't have to go and could get help to get to Canada . Cheech Marin met Tommy Chong in Vancouver Canada when Cheech went there to escape the draft .. though I had family there I couldn't get a ride at the time

That guitar riff marked me for life

Dylan wrote the song "Oh Sister" as an answer to her "Diamonds and Rust" song. Shortly after, Joan answered with the meanest song ever called "O Brother." Those two...

I know this is Joan's song but for me the Judas Priest version is the one that knocks my socks off.

Another good song about Dylan, "Winds of the Old Days" was on this same album. It was Joan's reaction to Dylan touring again.

NICE!! Finally someone is diving into this song!! 😮 Lyrics a little different from the PRIEST cover. I PLEAD that you hear the best Judas Priest version from the Live UNLEASHED IN THE EAST!! Bob saying her poems suck?? She could've said " Ya but I can sing"! Great Channel Guys!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Interesting stuff thanks thanks comments too.

"Diamonds and Rust" was written about Bob Dylan by Joan Baez. I also thought it was a Judas Priest original for many years....

2 curious fact: 1 - when Dylan called Joan Baez, he read the lyric of Lilly, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts, she performed it live later. 2 - Steve Jobs was kind of obsessed with Dylan's work and he dated Joan Baez for a while.

Her signature tune which she is known to be a premiere folk singer!Joan was already known when she began a collaboration artistically then developed into romantic relationship from 1960 to 1965Dylan,aka.Robert Zimmerman, was unknown at the beginning of their relationship. He became an icon and at a 1965 concert did not allow Joan to perform with him and broke off with her afterwards. Seems he had outgrown their relationship making Joan feel used by Mr. Dylan.

Two other Joan Baez songs I highly recommend are "House of the Rising Sun", and "With God on Our Side".

The following is the reaction to the cover of Mughty Murphin Power Ranger from Sanca Records Indonesia🤞☺️

Great album, you should listen to Winds of the old Days, the whole album really. But my all time favorite is her gorgeous version of Dylans "Sad eyed Lady of the Lowlands"

Btw, Joan loved Priest's version.

If you're offering diamonds and rust, I've already paid. Just wow.

FYI her name is pronounced Buy-Ez.

So I knew about Judas Priest doing a version so then my mind went to Nazareth doing Joni Mitchell’s this flight tonight so I listened to both of those songs And then cut back over to Joan Baez

"As she hands him dry clothes, Jenny asks Forrest if he ever dreams about who he's going to be. "Aren't I going to be me?" Forrest asks, innocently. She tells him she wants to be a famous singer like Joan Baez".

You should check out the album "Baez sings Dylan". Has some great stuff on it!
