1975 Joan Baez – Blue Sky (US: #57)
“Blue Sky“ is a song by the American rock band the Allman Brothers Band from their third studio album, Eat a Peach (1972), released on Capricorn Records. The song was written and sung by guitarist Dickey Betts, who penned it about his girlfriend (and later wife), Sandy “Bluesky” Wabegijig.

“Blue Sky” has been covered several times in the past including by Joan Baez on her 1975 album Diamonds & Rust, also released as a single.
