Folk Music JOAN BAEZ: FAREWELL, ANGELINA (Vanguard). Time and tax debts have not diminished Baez's haunting voice one iota, but they have changed her material. Forsaking her early ballads, she now warbles four Dylan tunes (including It's All Over Now, Baby Blue and A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall), launches into French, and sings Where Have AH the Flowers Gone in German-as if her English would offend...
...WEAVERS: REUNION AT CARNEGIE HALL, PART 2 (Vanguard). If anyone has forgotten that the Weavers were once the pharaohs of folk, here is fresh proof. Recorded at a concert in 1963, this new release includes Frozen Logger, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, Old Smoky and Rock Island Line, plus a ditty called I'm Standing on the Outside of Your Shelter-bomb shelter, that...

During LeRoi Jones's outburst at the Village Vanguard, a small, rotund, bespectacled man, shaken with emotion, arose. "As a Jew and a white man, I hear you," he said. "What do you want us to do? What on earth do you want me to do?" Jones hit a nihilistic bottom. "Do, man? There's nothing you can do!" Nonetheless, the bulk of whites, some consciously forgetting and some consciously remembering their fears after Watts, will continue to do something. But the Negro himself must do as much...
