會發現Joan Baez一開始是因為喜歡聽一首老歌名為donna donna，當時我就知道唱這首歌的人名為Joan Baez。聽了幾年之後有一天突然想要去瞭解唱這首歌的歌手。理由很簡單，就是想必她也會有其他歌曲好聽。
我上網搜尋，首先找到的就是We shall overcome這首歌。當時我對這首歌的瞭解就是Joan Baez在馬丁·路德·金於１９６３年８月２８日所發動的民權運動－２０萬人華盛頓遊行中演唱。
我第一次聽We shall overcome就感動到起雞皮疙瘩，那是２００６年的事。
後來又聽到她唱It Ain't Me Babe。這首歌我最早聽到的是電影＂為你鍾情＂的版本，由瓦昆菲尼克斯和瑞絲薇斯朋所演唱。老實說我比較喜歡為你鍾情的版本，但Joan Baez的版本對我而言卻有治療心靈的效果，因為當時還困在情傷中，但聽完她唱完下面的歌詞之後，我終於走了出來。
They say you're looking for someone,
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it aint me babe
No no no, it aint me babe
It aint me you're looking for… babe
至於最喜歡的歌曲則是融合佛斯特音樂和愛爾蘭民謠的I Dream of Jeannie-Danny Boy。曲與詞皆上乘之作，聽了令人忘憂。

歌詞：
I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair,
floating like a vapor on the summer air.
I hear her melodies like days gone by,
sighing around my heart o'er the fond hopes that die.
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for her lost love that comes not again.
I dream of Jeannie and my heart bows low,
nevermore to find her where the deep waters flow.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
from glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone and all the roses falling;
it's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
It's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow;
oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
It's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow;
oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
記於回味Joan Baez歌曲的夜晚，於台中。
