''Joan Baez'' is the self-titled debut album by folk singer Joan Baez. The album was recorded in the summer of 1960 and released the same year. The original release featured 13 traditional folk songs, later reissues included 3 additional songs. ==History== Though Baez was reportedly offered a contract with Columbia at the time, she chose to go instead with the independent Vanguard label, hoping for increased artistic license. Baez recorded the album in the summer of 1960 when she was nineteen.〔 Most of the songs featured only Baez' vocals and guitar, with a second guitar (played by Fred Hellerman, of The Weavers), added to some songs. Despite the lack of strings and horns, backup singers and hit singles, the album went gold, although it did not make the ''Billboard'' 200 chart until 1962, following the success of her second album, ''Joan Baez, Vol. 2''. ''Joan Baez'' peaked at number 15 and spent 140 weeks on the chart. In 1983 Baez described the making of the album to ''Rolling Stones Kurt Loder: In 2001, Vanguard reissued ''Joan Baez'' with new liner notes and three previously unreleased songs. (Between 2001 and 2005, they reissued remastered versions of Baez' thirteen original albums with the label.) The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.〔^ Robert Dimery; Michael Lydon (23 March 2010). 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: Revised and Updated Edition.
