@absolutehanger "And a voice to sing with" by Joan Baez.
"You gonna sing that song about robin's eggs and diamonds?" Bob had asked me on the first day of rehearsals.
"Which one?"
"You know, that one about blue eyes and diamonds..."
"Oh", I said, "you must mean 'Diamonds And Rust', the song I wrote for my husband, David. I wrote it while he was in prison."
"For your husband?" Bob said.
"Yeah. Who did you think it was about?" I stonewalled.
"Oh, hey, what the fuck do I know?"

@MegaMagicman89 what a creepy thing to say....I guess Judas Priest disagree.....
-
@absolutehanger I feel bad now, sorry Joan Baez.
-
Good thing the members of Priest have better taste than you do, or you would never have heard their version.
-
This is not bad but for me Judas Priest version will always better.
-
This is a piece of shit. I consider the Judas Priest version to be the original after hearing this abortion.

@MReineck Not to mention, if you read back in old papers, and some of Dylan's things that he's said... He didn't want to be with Baez to begin with.. it was more of a push by the music companies, etc.. from what is said, it appears that Bob wanted to be with Baez's sister, but the music moguls figured they'd make it further if they were an "item" instead of Dylan being with who he wanted to be with. And thus their relationship was pushed. She loved Dylan, and maybe he loved her at some point.

some songs show the genius of what it means to be human x

Passion at its best.

I know this from the Judas cover; very nice.
She can definitely sing and I like the guitar. A very good ballad; and if anything, when it comes to this music, Judas couldn't have chosen anymore more talented to cover.

For those who don't know, Bob and Baez were a couple mainly through bobs mid to late folk period, they broke up sometime after he went electric. I think they were in Europe when that went down... correct me if i am wrong. Thing is if you watch the documentaries You can tell Joan is still somehow in love 20 + years and a few kids later! Which is what makes this song great, that pain in her voice is real, its something we can all relate to.

@absolutehanger I believe you are right. And Bob was not kind or compassionate in letting her down. After he starting making it, he wouldn't let her appear on stage with him, ignoring the fact that she had promoted him and brought him on the sing with her when she was much bigger.

boo. i can't believe that put her name on the marque instead of a group of musicians who're fare more talented than she.

@azurenscens Well she did write the song, so here marquee position is defensible.
