Bohemian: A Conversation with Judy Collins
Abstract:
It was once said that "if amethysts could sing, they would sound like Judy Collins." Indeed, Judy Collins has been a folk and pop music icon and a powerful influence on several generations of musicians and listeners. Her ethereal performances and top-selling recordings of songs like "Both Sides Now" and "Send in the Clowns" ultimately helped make songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Stephen Sondheim become household names. Now in the fifth decade of her career, Judy is about to release Bohemian, her new album on the heels of her critically acclaimed 2009 release Paradise. Judy chats with Jason King, the Artistic Director of NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, about her life, career, and the making of the new album. Clips will be played from the as yet unreleased new CD.
