As she gets ready to wrap up her final tour, Baez looks back at timeless songs by John Lennon, Bob Dylan and others
As always, her current show is packed with protest songs. When we spoke to her recently, she shared her five favorites and explained why they are so meaningful to her after all these years.This is probably the greatest protest song ever written. It is an anthem that came out of some kind of depth. I think that is where really good songs come out of. It’s a meeting of politics and social change and music.
I sing this on my current tour and people love it and they sing along. I love the song because it’s beautiful; It has a beautiful lilt and it’s easy to sing. Right now, I sing it with Grace [Stumberg], my co-singer. She’s become indispensable in my concerts. She carries the part of a melody I can no longer carry with a magnificent voice. People love it and clap in the middle of it every night.You could consider this a protest song even though Paul Simon wasn’t a political person.
