Once a decade or so, Judy Collins decides to pose for a hubba-hubba album cover, reminding the record-buying public that she has always been folk music's resident Hot Mama. 1995's SHAMELESS comes close to living up to its title, with a black-and-white cover shot that looks like a Harlequin romance novel crossed with an outtake from Madonna's SEX book. Yowza. The album itself is something of an anomalous return to Collins' folk roots during a period when she was mostly releasing adult-contemporary pop. Bluegrass-folk acoustic multi-instrumentalist Eric Weissberg is all over the album, lending an air of authenticity to Collins' romping cover of Jean Ritchie's "Mountain Girl" and other folky delights. The combination of Weissberg's mandolin and steel guitar with the otherwise slick production is a bit odd at times, but it works more often than not. One of Collins' best '90s albums by far.
