| This is an old favorite. I enjoy Judy Collins treatment of just about any song. I had the LP years ago and listened to it many, many times. If you're a fan of the folk ballad genre, Judy Collins does it well. |

Someone once likened Judy Collin's voice to an amethyst - with beautiful hues and textures and as clear as crystal. It is always a wonderful experience to hear her sing yet this particular album is unique. Recorded in 1967, "Wildflowers" transcends time.
Usually, on practically every album there is often a favourite track which (now with the help of modern CD players) we can select easily and listen to again and again. Conversely, those tracks which we least like can be skipped. However, here we have a rare example of a collection of songs which is outstandingly beautiful. All are of a consistent quality. While Judy Collins could indeed be called a versatile singer, I am often put off by the word 'versatile' in the context of music. Rather than listen to a varied collection of ballads and up-tempo songs, I invariably prefer consistency. If I play music to enhance a certain mood then I do not want this mood to change from song to song. Judy Collins is not only consistent but true to her own style.
The world is often dark enough and through beauty and art one can feel refreshed by brief glimpses of colour and light. This collection is art. The melodies are hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics are poetry. While songs have been included from other great singer-songwriters, such as Leonard Cohen's "Hey, that's no way to say goodbye" and Joni Mitchell's "Michael from Mountains", perhaps my favourite pieces in this collection are Judy's own compositions - the melodic "Since You've Asked" which has an almost medieval sound, and the uplifting "Sky Fell" and "Albatross" which take you on a special, magical journey. The sad melodies are both soothing and comforting - and the words and music create a so many pictures in my mind each time I listen. |

I had this CD as a record in 1968 and someone asked if I knew the music of
Leonard Cohen. So I gave him this CD as a Christmas present. I loved this
record so much that I wore it out and had to buy another one. The strange
reaction I had was that it made me very sentimental and sad. |
