4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, May 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Wind Beneath My Wings (Audio CD)

I originally bought this CD just to get one song. I heard Miss Collins' version of "The Rose" on the radio and I thought it was awesome (Yes, I think it's even better than the famous version by Bette). Though never really being a fan of Collins, I thought this song alone was worthy to get this CD. I thought that I wouldn't be impressed with the other songs. I was wrong.

Some of the songs were recorded live, but you really wouldn't know it. The sound quality and the musicianship is first-class. This is one of those albums that I find very uplifting. It makes me feel good to be alive.

"Trust Your Heart" is also a "must have" and is an absolute gorgeous masterpiece and Collins' voice is just tremendous.

If you're just a little bit of a fan of Judy Collins like I was, this disc might make you a BIG fan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Judy Misses With This One, January 27, 2007

Not one of her best; over-orchestrated (especially the Jungle Jam bridge befor the last verse in "Pretty Polly"); songs too similar; too few songs for the money. (Sorry, Judy--I've loved just about everything you've ever done!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific collection of songs by a classic vocalist, July 10, 2011

This review is from: Wind Beneath My Wings (Audio CD)

The songs on "Wind Beneath My Wings" were culled from Judy Collins' two Gold Castle albums, "Trust Your Heart" (1987) and "Sanity and Grace" (1989, recorded live in Tarrytown, NY). I can't speak highly enough about Collins' performances. She was in vocal prime (isn't she always in vocal prime, though?), and the musicianship is tight. I was fortunate enough to see Ms. Collins perform several times and she always moves me. To hear her beautiful voice so crystal clear, singing songs that had a major impact on popular music, is the next best thing.

P.S.: The songs listed as being on this recording are only partially correct. The program is as follows:

"Wind Beneath My Wings"
"When You Wish Upon A Star"
"Day By Day"
"Cat's In the Cradle"
"The Rose"
"From A Distance"
"Pretty Polly"
"Trust Your Heart"
"Amazing Grace"
