<i>Something Different</i>: Joan Baez sings “Barbara Allen”

While I can’t say I always agree with her politics, there is no denying the talent of Joan Baez.  Here is a performance, by way of PBS, of the old ballad “Barbara Allen” by Ms. Baez when she was only seventeen years old – and you will find her voice to be close to its peak even then.  If I understand correctly this video would have been made around 1959.
