Diamonds and rust - Joan Baez (1975)

Nothing JB ever wrote was as inspired as this. Especially strong knowing that this is about Bob Dylan. The opening guitar intro has a really special tone and the opening line 'Well I'll be damned here comes your ghost again' hooked me immediately. I never heard this until many years after it's release and I wonder sometimes what else is as good as this and is out there undiscovered.  Beauty is truth, truth beauty.” and this is both.
