The Very Best of Judy Collins by Judy Collins (CD, Aug-2001, Elektra Entertainment)

When I was young (I am 62 now), I listened to Judy Collins. She thrilled me then, she thrills me now. For those who remember her, this CD is a feel-good return to times past; for those who have never heard the sweet sound of her voice singing the best poetry of the era, get ready for a wondrous treat!

I like The song Amazing Grace by Judy Collins. "I was blind but now I can see" Happened during a turning point in my life. I collect music preferring LP,s . The 70 era is my favorite time. I do have 78,s and Edison imprinted 78,s as well. A huge collection of cassettes and CD,s compliment my library. The reel to reels are long worn out. The cassettes are stretching. LP,s last forever with proper care. I continue to purchase and replace damaged or lost LP,s. Not one mp3 song in my collection.

Judy Collins is a talent whose greatest power is in the interpretation of the music of others. Often her version or rendition is far better than the original artist. This is an excellent anthology of her work and if you enjoy this you'll also enjoy 'Colors of the Day' which I feel is one of her best albums.It was an unknowingly a 'greatest' hits album.
