5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible Judy December 23, 2001
By "pspa"
Format:Audio CD
Judy Collins never really got credit for being one of the great folk singers of the 60s, perhaps because of her transformation later in life into an art/torch singer, perhaps because she largely did not write her own material. But this CD shows her range and versatility as a folk singer, featuring of course her immortal covers of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now and Stephen Sondheim's Send In The Clowns, but also showcasing a variety of beautiful and moving renditions of less familiar songs. Since You Asked and My Father particularly come to mind. If you already own Colors of the Day, her 1972 greatest hits album, the major addition here is Send in the Clowns; if you are looking for just one CD, this one is definitely better because of a more expansive selection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Folk at its most pristine May 16, 2003
Format:Audio CD
These sixteen tracks encompass all of Judy Collins' most popular and familiar songs and make for delightful listening. There are covers of songs by The Byrds (Turn! Turn! Turn!), Leonard Cohen (Suzanne), Dylan (Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues) and Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now) and Judy transforms them all with her beautiful voice. It's hard to pick favourites, but I love her version of Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Send In The Clowns more than any other versions. This graceful album concludes with her stunning a cappella rendition of Amazing Grace, a song that amazingly made the UK Top 20 in 1971. Once you've heard these songs, you'll want to investigate further and you won't be disappointed since Collins had a prolific output, all of which is good, most of which is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voice of an Angel... August 12, 2005
Format:Audio CD
This is an exceptional album by any standards and ridiculous value.

While most of her classics are on here, there are many other tracks that blew me away - such as the ONLY example of the danceable, single version of Chelsea Morning to appear on an album.

The other two songs that were a surpsise sensation to me were Judy's own song, Since You've Asked, and her simply breathtaking version of the old whaling song Farewell To Tarwathie. This is made all the more haunting by the presence of whale song from humpback whales, which Judy added in herself, from a tape that came from a marine biologist friend, Dr. Roger Payne.

To cap it all, the mini booklet contains wonderful bio info and many stunning shots of this impossibly beautiful woman.

Invaluable.

Best of Judy Collins brings together all of my favorite songs. She has a beautifully unique voice. I have listened to her since the '70s. She is still one of my favorites.

4.0 out of 5 stars best of Judy Collins
It appears this recording was done much later in her career. Doesn't sound like the Judy Collins I remember. Then again, that was a long time ago. Still enjoyed the songs, though.

This album is OK, reminds me of my old days (Happy Days?). She has a beautiful voice, but not like Joan Baez.

A good selection of Judy Collins songs. It brought back many memories of my college days. Good quality. Would have been even better if a monthly $5 download!
