After recording for the folk label Vanguard for more than a decade,
Baez moved to A&M. On this label debut, she maintained her interest in country music, recording in Nashville with some of the city's session aces. She also continued to dedicate herself to radical politics, from her set opener "Prison Trilogy," which pledged, "We're gonna raze the prisons to the ground," to the closer,
John Lennon's "Imagine." In between were her call on
Bob Dylan to return to protest music ("To Bobby") and her sister
Mimi Farina's touching tribute to
Janis Joplin, "In the Quiet Morning." ~ William Ruhlmann
