Come from the Shadows is the thirteenth studio album by Joan Baez, released in 1972. After recording for the independent label Vanguard for more than a decade, Baez signed with A&M and attempted to point her career in a slightly more "commercial" direction. In addition to her own compositions such as "Prison Trilogy", "Love Song to a Stranger", "Myths", and "To Bobby", Baez included John Lennon's "Imagine", Anna Marly's "Song of the Partisan", and Mimi Fariña's "In the Quiet Morning". "In the Quiet Morning" and "Love Song to a Stranger" were released as singles. The album was recorded at Quadrafonic Sound Studios in Nashville. The cover photo features an elderly couple being arrested at an anti-war protest, holding hands and flashing peace signs as they are led away. The album's liner notes feature a Baez quote: "...In 1972 if you don't fight against a rotten thing you become a part of it." The album peaked at No. 48 on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape and at No. 41 on the Canadian album charts.
