JOAN BAEZ ON DIVERSE RECORDS
For the past nearly 50 years, as a singer, musician, social activist, and goodwill ambassador, Joan Baez has kept her pact with the spirit of her voice.

Throughout her career, she has followed a pattern of mutual mentoring, begun when she first met Bob Dylan. She continues the pattern with striking results on recent tours that have included onstage collaborations with a range of talented young writers and performers, including Dar Williams, Eliza Carthy, and Josh Ritter among others. And it was on this superb album, originally from 1997 where some of those friendships were set in stone, as Joan tackles a variety of expertly penned and arranged tracks by the likes of Dar Williams, Sinead Lohan, Richard Shindell, Betty Elders, and Mark Addison.

We’re absolutely delighted to announce “Gone From Danger” as release number 22 on Diverse Records. A single 180g LP in a gatefold sleeve is due in June.

“The ability to serve as a lightning rod for artists whose talent complements – that is, completes, amplifies – your own unique abilities, that is a rare quality, indeed. It is a quality that came to Joan Baez very early in her career, and there are indications that it even preceded her career (her professional career). As early as her coffee house days in 1958 and ’59, learning her craft from friends, fellow travellers, old and new recordings, Joan’s instincts sharpened. She learned to draw from those sources who could heighten her artistry, and to introduce her audiences to music and musicians who appealed to her, and whom she felt assured would appeal to those audiences as well.

Gone From Danger is a reminder of the complex musical roads that Joan Baez has travelled these past two decades or so, and the marvellously talented artists that she has mentored along the way, who have travelled on her “bus” and then driven off to find their own pathways. As Joan’s friend Dar wrote, “She turned round the corner with music around her. She gave me the language that keeps me alive ...” – Arthur Levy, January 2009
