''Gulf Winds'' was an album composed of songs written and performed by Joan Baez. The album was released in 1976, and was her final album of new material for A&M. Baez stated in her autobiography, ''And a Voice to Sing With'', that most of the songs were written while on tour with the Rolling Thunder Revue with Bob Dylan.〔Baez, Joan. 1987. And a Voice to Sing With: A Memoir. Century Hutchinson, London. ISBN 0-7126-1827-9〕 "O Brother!" was a clever reply to Dylan's song "Oh Sister". On the title song, a ten-minute long autobiographical recollection of her childhood, Baez accompanies herself only with her own acoustic guitar (the rest of the album features standard mid-1970s pop/rock backup), creating a sound reminiscent of her earliest pure folk recordings. ''Gulf Winds'' is the only Baez album without one single cover; each song was written by Baez herself. From the album's liner notes: :"Sometimes, I wake up at night and write a song. Sometimes a tune comes to my head when I'm walking in the hills, and I have to make up words for it. Sometimes I sit in a bar in San Francisco and scribble into a notepad what I call my 'streams of unconsciousness.' When I have enough scribbles in the pad, and enough tunes in my head, I go into the studio and make an album. That's how I made this one." ::- Joan Baez ==Track listing== All tracks composed by Joan Baez #"Sweeter for Me" 4:25 #"Seabirds" 4:32 #"Caruso" 3:42 #"Still Waters at Night" 3:01 #"Kingdom of Childhood" 7:51 #"O Brother!" 3:19 #"Time Is Passing Us By" 3:43 #"Stephanie's Room" 4:05 #"Gulf Winds" 10:29 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gulf Winds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
