Recently is a 1987 album by Joan Baez. At the time of its release, it was her first album of new material issued in the US in eight years. As she had done during the 1960s for Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin and Richard Farina, Baez lent her voice to the songwriters of the day, in this case Mark Knopfler, U2 and Peter Gabriel, and found herself straddling a line between attempting to further connect with young audiences (who first became acquainted with her through her appearances at Live Aid and Amnesty International's A Conspiracy of Hope Tour), while reintroducing herself to her established listeners, after such a long absence.

The track "Asimbognagna" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Recording.
