Diamonds & Rust is a 1975 album by Joan Baez. Though Baez is more often regarded as an interpreter of other people's work, Diamonds & Rust contained a number of her own compositions, including the title track, a song about her relationship with Bob Dylan. The album also covered songs by Stevie Wonder, The Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne. The title track was also covered by Judas Priest and appears on the Hero Hero album. It was also covered by Blackmore's Night, on their Ghost of a Rose album. It was later re-recorded for Sin After Sin and remains a staple of their live concert performance.

Her cover of Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate" features Baez doing a very convincing impression of the song's composer.
