As a teenager in the late 1950s, Joan Baez became the leader of the popular folk music movement on the strength of her voice and her repertoire of traditional songs. She's well-known for introducing Bob Dylan to the world in the early ‘60s. But she also remained an advocate for folk music and political change for the next four decades. She joins us to talk about teaming up with songwriter-producer Steve Earle for "Day After Tomorrow," her first studio release in five years.
Joan Baez appears tonight at the 92nd St Y in a conversation with music critic Anthony DeCurtis. She performs at Town Hall on Oct. 28 and 29.

I've always been a Joan Baez fan, and I enjoy she's always here and made a new recording. I enjoy also very much this interview. With Internet we can hear very often about Joan Baez, what was not possible in the sixties and during years. I'm happy to live this time of communication where we can have almost a personal contact to our idols of our youth. And that Joan is always fit and have always a beautiful voice at the age of 67.
Faithfully to Joan.
