Joan Baez - Diamonds & Rust

Oh how I love her. Her voice is so pure and her songs continue to return to my mind to sing throughout the day.

Ms Baez, I don't know if you monitor this page, but you have to know , we all love you, not just for your talent , but your messages as well. Be safe, warm, and loved .I will always wish all these things for you.

I can't help but to hear this over and over again, Her talent is so intoxicating. Her voice, her looks, her guitar , everything......she is so awesome!!!!

I'm sorry but I really prefer Priest's cover of this. Rob Halford puts much more expression into his singing and I need not to talk about the guitar play.

joan 1st just like the cover versions of blackmores night and judas priest ilove baez

The ultimate anthem of nostalgic days!

what a great talent! Some people got it all. She is so awesome , I have always loved her, and aliciajitinse said it best, she did improve with time, like fine wine. You go girl!!!

The finest song I know.

Did you know Judas Priest (!) do a rather excellent cover of this? Look for a recent live version, their earlier attempts are a bit too heavy for my liking.

And Joan, if you're reading this: Ever thought of repaying the compliment? Doing one of Priest's, Hell Bent for Leather maybe or Breaking the Law? Go on, bit of a laugh.

I liked JP's version off of Unleashed in the East (1975). As far of the more current version you speak of, the video shot live at the Budokan in 2005 is probably one of the best versions I've heard them do. Especially the beginning where Glen and KK are playing acoustic guitars.
