Search - Judy Collins :: Colors Of The Day: The Best Of Judy Collins

Fans of this most unsullied of folksingers have strong options when it comes to retrospectives. Colors of the Day first arrived in record stores in 1972 and serves as a primer to her earliest, most time-honored recordings, including the hits "Someday Soon," "Both Sides Now," "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" and "Suzanne." Those four tracks, as well as four others, turn up on Elektra's 1997 two-disc Forever...The Judy Collins Anthology, which is by far the superior career overview. Still, those who treasure Collins's earlier folk-based recordings over her later art-song experiments will find Colors to their liking. And DCC's gold disc, while more expensive than the Elektra version of the same album, boasts sound that's as pristine as Collins's spring-water vocals. --Steven Stolder
