The Complete Vanguard Recordings = 3 CD = (CD)
The younger sister of Joan, Mimi Baez married the youthful writer Richard Fari a in 1963. Together the couple went on to be one of the sensations of the 1965 Newport Folk Festival (nine performances from the latter are included in this set). Listening to their Vanguard legacy, it's easy to see why. Mimi's accomplished guitar picking effortlessly entwined with Richard's revolutionary approach to mountain dulcimer playing. Their harmony singing was light and keening, yet intimate. In the same way that Dylan was by 1965 'beyond' folk, their playful, gentle and poetic songs precursed the hippie movement whose 'incense and peppermints' were just around the corner. Richard's novel "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me" was warmly received on its publication and remains a cult classic. He died in 1966 at the age of 29 in a motorcycle accident. Mimi went on to a solo career, appearing in the movie Festival At Big Sur with her sister Joan and recording a duet album Take Heart (A&M) with Tom Jans in 1971. Fifteen years later, she followed this up with the excellent Mimi Fari a Solo (Rounder). She died of cancer on 18 July 2001.
