A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

  • 20Th Century Masters Press Release
    1 FROM “THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN” TO “DIAMONDS & RUST,” NEW COMPILATION COLLECTS THE BEST OF JOAN BAEZ If Bob Dylan is the king of modern folk, then Joan Baez is surely the queen, with her sweeping soprano making her one of the most recognizable voices in music. But for the greatest artists, their songs resonate far beyond the music itself. Of no one is that truer than Baez. Since her first album 40 years ago, she has chronicled and perhaps helped mold the political and social changes that have swept across not only the U.S. but the world. On The Best Of Joan Baez edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UMG), released October 19, 1999, 11 of her most popular and significant songs have been digitally remastered using the latest 24-bit/96k technology and brought together on one album. Spanning her A&M career from 1972-1976, The Best Of Joan Baez features the two most cherished songs for Baez fans--a live version of her 1971 #3 hit “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” (written by Robbie Robertson and originally recorded by the Band) and her acoustic 1975 Top 40 tribute to Dylan, “Diamonds & Rust.” Also included is her cover of Dylan’s classic “Forever Young” as well as covers of songs by Jackson Browne (“Fountain Of Sorrow”), John Prine (“Hello In There”), Janis Ian (“Jesse”) and her sister Mimi Farina (“In The Quiet Morning,” an homage to Janis Joplin). Another highlight is “Dida,” a breezy acoustic duet with its author, Joni Mitchell.

  • Folk Icon Joan Baez Celebrated with Four-Cd Box Set the Complete A&M Recordings, Including the Albums Diamonds & Rust and Double Live from Every Stage
    1 FOLK ICON JOAN BAEZ CELEBRATED WITH FOUR-CD BOX SET THE COMPLETE A&M RECORDINGS, INCLUDING THE ALBUMS DIAMONDS & RUST AND DOUBLE LIVE FROM EVERY STAGE “All of us alive are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?” --Joan Baez (And A Voice To Sing With, 1987) Joan Baez has been an icon for folksingers, protest singers and social activists like no other figure save her occasional compatriot Bob Dylan. The four-CD box set The Complete A&M Recordings (1972-1976) (A&M/UME), released August 19, 2003, brings together for the first time those years of war and peace, roots and reflection, as heard through her music. With 80 digitally remastered selections--every track from her six A&M albums plus a trio of non-album singles (“Dylan’s “Forever Young” plus two CD debuts, “Where’s My Apple Pie” and “Johnny I Hardly Knew Yeh”)--The Complete A&M Recordings spans some of her most controversial songs, a breakthrough Spanish album, and a live album embracing her entire career. The package also features the original liner notes for each album and an essay based on interviews with Baez and others by Grammy- nominated historian Arthur Levy. After 12 years on Vanguard (since she was 18), she moved to A&M for 1972’s confrontational Come From The Shadows. From a labor union hymn and “Song Of Bangladesh” to an indictment of the prison system and her cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” the album remains a document of musical protest. So too is 1973’s Where Are You Now My Son? with its 26-minute title opus with sounds from her tapes of life in Hanoi during her visit there.
