It's my opinion that with the passage of time his writing will be compared favorably to Shakespeare's. And then you have the music thrown in--all those fabulous tunes, and he is grotesquely underrated as a guitar and harp player.

At least during the 60s and 70s he was also a great singer. A number of great singers did not have good voices, and vice versa.

The way I think of it is this: who else would you want singing those great songs? The answer is: nobody else.

He wrote a few songs that I think only Baez actually recorded/performed, like Love is Just a Four Letter Word.

This is one of the reasons I love this forum so much.
As a GenXer I understand if you guys roll your eyes but my favorite Dylan record is Blood on the Tracks. There, I said it.

I played that record nonstop in the summer of 75. It's right up there with the early classics IMO even if the songs were more personal and less social. Some amazing acoustic guitar, very evocative of different moods. Did you know that many of the songs have alternate takes that are available?

It's as good a record as he ever made. The followup, "Desire," is also excellent, and IMO the last of his 15-year run of stone classic albums. If I had to name my favorite, it would be "Bringing It All Back Home," from 1965.

She did some wonderful covers of his songs, and also wrote two great songs about her and Bob, "Diamonds and Rust," and about her sister Mimi, "Sweet Sir Galahad."

Her studio Farewell Angelina is one of my favorite songs of all time. Haunting and her delivery is perfect.

Baez is wildly underrated, having been overwhelmed by the succeeding waves of great 60s music she helped pave the way for, and typecast as possessor of a great natural voice but not much more. In time she will be rediscovered and take her rightful place among the pantheon of fabulous talent from that era, I believe.
