Judy Collins

I just heard Judy Collins live this week in a small, intimate setting. She was a huge influence in my life back in the 60's and 70's and it was priviledge to see her again. I was blown away by her voice and her presence. She still has the clarity and range that was her hallmark way back when. Her most recent CD (Paradise) is really fine, including duets with Joan Baez and Steven Stills. The 60's were a special time and she was a huge influence at that time. If you have not listened to her lately, I suggest you listen to her old music and to her new CDs. Her album from a few years ago of Beatles hits is great. If you are too young to remember her, go take a listen. Obviously, I am a huge fan, but Judy Collins is still a class act.
