Our Take

Judy Collins is the OG queen of folk, and this retrospective collection, "Early Years - The First Albums 1961-62," is a time capsule of her rootsy beginnings. Back in the day when coffeehouses were the hippest spots in town, Collins was holding court with her angelic voice and deft guitar skills, captivating audiences with her haunting renditions of traditional folk tunes.

The album kicks off with her debut self-titled album, featuring classics like "Maid of Constant Sorrow" and "Wild Mountain Thyme." Collins' pure, crystalline voice is a balm for the soul, transporting listeners to a simpler time when the biggest worry was which protest march to attend.

Moving on to her sophomore effort, "Golden Apples of the Sun," Collins continues to shine with her ethereal vocals and impeccable phrasing. Tracks like "Lark in the Morning" and "Bonnie Ship the Diamond" showcase her boundless talent and a keen ear for selecting timeless songs that resonate across generations.

Overall, "Early Years - The First Albums 1961-62" is a must-have for any folk aficionado looking to delve deeper into the roots of the genre. Collins' unwavering passion and dedication to her craft are on full display, making this collection a true treasure for music lovers of all ages. Judy Collins may have started small, but her impact on the folk scene is immeasurable, and this album is a delightful reminder of her enduring legacy.
