History
It was Baez's version of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", more commonly associated with Led Zeppelin, that brought the song to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's attention. Malvina Reynolds' "What Have They Done to the Rain" (about nuclear fallout) was the first "topical" song Baez ever recorded. "Até Amanhã" is a Brazilian love song and is sung entirely in Portuguese.
The Vanguard reissue contains three previously unreleased tracks, "Streets of Laredo", "My Good Old Man" and "My Lord What A Morning."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
