Dark Chords on a Big Guitar

Album by Joan Baez ‧ 2003

Dark Chords on a Big Guitar (2003) is the twenty-fourth studio album (and twenty-sixth overall) by Joan Baez, released in September 2003. The album is more rock-oriented than her prior releases, and it is mostly composed of work by Generation X songwriters, including Natalie Merchant, Ryan Adams and Steve Earle. The title was taken from a line in Greg Brown's song "Rexroth's Daughter". Critics and listeners were surprised that Baez's voice had lost little of its original power and beauty given that she was sixty-two when she made the album.

Baez dedicated the album to Michael Moore.
