The Joan Baez Lovesong Album, Vanguard, 1976

The Joan Baez Lovesong Album was a 1976 compilation Vanguard put together in their series of Joan Baez reissues, following Baez' 1972 departure from their label. This one focused on the various "love songs" Baez had recorded during her Vanguard years, including traditional and contemporary work, as well as an arrangement of E. E. Cummings' "All in Green My Love Went Riding" by Peter Schickele. The cover painting was done by painter and musician Eric Von Schmidt.
