AMG:
"Combining new songs with previously-released material, 1979's double album The Joan Baez Country Music Album is divided into four side-long thematic sections: Songs of the South, Love Songs, Roots and Retrospects, and Old-Timey Songs. The definition of 'country music' is rather fluid, stretching to accommodate the folk-rock of the Band's 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' and Jesse Winchester's 'Brand New Tennessee Waltz,' Delaney and Bonnie's R&B-influenced 'Ghetto' and Gram Parson's country-rock classic 'Hickory Wind,' alongside tunes by Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash and a handful of traditional folk tunes. With some songs given full-band electric backup, a handful of acoustic bluegrass tunes and others strictly solo, the performances are as wide-ranging as the repertoire. Not quite so much a true country album as a rather idiosyncratic reinterpretation of country music, The Joan Baez Country Music Album is nonetheless an intriguing release."
