Baez’s career has spanned over 50 years, during which time she unselfconsciously introduced Bob Dylan to the world, marched on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement with Martin Luther King, inspired Vaclav Havel to fight for a Czech Republic, and continues to this day to stand passionately on behalf of causes she embraces. She is the recipient of many honours including the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award.
The new album Whistle Down The Wind, produced by Joe Henry, will be released in late February 2018.
