Combining New Songs With Previously-Released Material, 1979'S Double Album The Joan Baez Country Music Album Is Divided Into Four Side-Long Thematic Sections: Songs Of The South, Love Songs, Roots And Retrospects, And Old-Timey Songs. The Definition Of "Country Music" Is Rather Fluid, Stretching To Accommodate The Folk-Rock Of The Band'S "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" And Jesse Winchester'S "Brand New Tennessee Waltz," Delaney And Bonnie'S R&B-Influenced "Ghetto" And Gram Parson'S Country-Rock Classic "Hickory Wind," Alongside Tunes By Kris Kristofferson And Johnny Cash And A Handful Of Traditional Folk Tunes. With Some Songs Given Full-Band Electric Backup, A Handful Of Acoustic Bluegrass Tunes And Others Strictly Solo, The Performances Are As Wide-Ranging As The Repertoire. Not Quite So Much A True Country Album As A Rather Idiosyncratic Reinterpretation Of Country Music, The Joan Baez Country Music Album Is Nonetheless An Intriguing Release.
