SWEET JUDY BLUE EYES My Life in Music

True artists are multifaceted, and folksinger Judy Collins is no exception. She narrates her life's story with artistry and wit, grace and sincerity. Listeners know Collins from her albums and live performances, but what many don't know is the backstory of her life—from childhood on. Now, at 70, she has plenty to talk about, and she candidly and honestly divulges both the positives and negatives of the tough road to fame she pursued as a young wife and mother. Collins weaves her story with delightful bits of song, anecdotes of her fascinating relationships with famous artists and lovers, and accounts of her own dark moments and her lifelong dedication to music. Her voice is warmly alluring, and her openness infectious, a combination that listeners will find addictive. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2011]
