Judy Collins is an indisputable musical treasure. With her narrative lyricism and astute musicality, Collins has spent over 50 years carving out a unique legacy.
Her landmark 1967 release Wildflowers featured both her originals alongside compositions by Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, the latter of whom prompted Collins to start making music in the first place.
Her 29th album Spellbound continues to expand Collins’ creative horizons, comprising a work of modern folk excellence. For the first time, the record features all songs written by Collins, with the vivid and picturesque detail of her songwriting shining through.
