Description

They dont come much more legendary than Judy Collins. Aged just 22 when she released her debut album, Collins was right there in the mix with the likes of Bob Dylan, Karen Dalton and Joan Baez as part of New York Citys legendary Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 60s. Her long-running association with the era-defining Elektra Records kept her at the forefront of folk music for over 30 years, and she was also one of the first musicians to sing songs penned by Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen before even those artists had recorded the songs themselves. This ear for talent not to mention Collins own interpretative skills defines her third record. Simply titled Judy Collins 3 and originally released in the spring of 1964, it finds her talent continuing to blossom on pertinent covers of songs by Bob Dylan (Masters Of War) and Woody Guthrie (Deportee), plus a beguiling take on Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season). Its this latter recording which points to the folk-rock revolution: with Collins voice ringing with crystal-clear purity, and future Byrds band member Roger McGuinn behind its delicate acoustic arrangement, it proves that music like this will never be out of season.
