Looking at fonts on album covers (Folk genre)

The font for the album cover 'Baptism' by Joan Baez is a great example for looking into fonts used by certain artists of the folk genre, considering she is regarded as insperational artist by 'Mayenna Plastow-Smed', that artist I have created the music video for. The font for this album cover appears to be rather free-flowing which relates to the relaxed approach with the genre. Rumoured to be her signiture once, the font was created by a local artist that Baez knew. Despite looking free-flowing, in a way the black font also quite feminane, something which is often used by female artists of any genre. The black font on the beige canvas colour implies an artistic form/style that could relate to the genre.
