''Diamonds & Rust'' is a 1975 album by Joan Baez . Baez is often regarded as an interpreter of other people's work, and on this album she covered songs by Stevie Wonder , The Allman Brothers , and Jackson Browne . But ''Diamonds & Rust'' also contained a number of her own compositions, including the title track, a haunting song written about Bob Dylan . In fact, she was covered herself as this song appeared on British Heavy Metal band Judas Priest 's 1977 album '' Sin After Sin ''. Her cover of Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate" features Baez doing a very convincing impression of the song's composer. An alternate recording of "Dida" had appeared on the previous year's '' Gracias A La Vida ''. The ''Diamonds & Rust'' recording of the song was more uptempo and featured duet vocals by Joni Mitchell.
