Joan Chandos Baez (born January 9, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter and political activist.

* {{Mondegreen}}: Having learned the lyrics to "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by ear instead of from a lyric sheet, her cover recording of the song was filled with these. Examples include "'Til so much cavalry came" instead of "'Til Stoneman's cavalry came", and "I took the train to Richmond that fell" in place of "By May the tenth, Richmond had fell".

Baez was one of the most notable protest singers of TheSixties, standing against UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar and supporting the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement and environmentalism. Though her own songwriting skills have been praised, she is mainly regarded as an interpreter of others' works, most prominently those of Music/BobDylan (with whom she had a close personal and musical relationship in the early '60s).

Baez's music is fairly varied, ranging from folk to country to pop. Her best-known song is likely 1975's "Diamonds & Rust", a nostalgic reflection on Baez's failed relationship with Dylan. It was notably covered by Music/JudasPriest on their album ''Sin after Sin''.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: It took her a while to warm up to it, but she eventually admitted that [[ComicStrip/LilAbner Al Capp’s]] parody of her was pretty funny.

* TheCoverChangesTheGender: zigzagged on her ''Beaz Sings Dylan'' album, where sometimes (eg ''Love Minus Zero/No Limit'' and ''Boots Of Spanish Leather'') she doesn't change the lyrics, but other times (eg ''You Ain't Going Nowhere'') she does.
