'love is just a four letter word' is a classic (also there are no known dylan recordings of this song). her 'sad-eyed lady of the lowlands' is very haunting, kind of a downer, but worth a listen if you have 11+ spare minutes.
I don't have any of her albums, but you just gave me a flashback to when Joan was on the Fame TV show about Sixties-style protests. BTW, I've always regretted arriving late to the Live Aid concert. If I remember, she was on early in the show so I missed her.
