...Judy Collins ************** On 1st May 1939 in Seattle, Washington, Judy Collins was born. In the 60's Judy Collins was one of the most talked about and Interpretive Folksingers.Judy first started off playing the clissical piano but at the age of 15 she turned to her dream of becoming a folksinger and released her very 1st album in 1962 at the age 22.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor songwriting, tedious lyrics.

...The Manics have been pursuing an uncertain career path ever since the release of 'Everything Must Go', one of their finest records. They followed that gem up with the frankly awful 'This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours' which itself was followed by 'Know Your Enemy', a diverse and exciting record. Hopes of a real return to their mid 90's heyday were high after the band debuted a song called 'Everything Will Be' at last summer's festivals.

Advantages: Some great Judy Classics
Disadvantages: Sound tone not as clear as hoped for

...Yet another 'Classic' Judy. When you can hear her young voice you can get some rawness in her renditions, these small nuanices add to the magic that is a young maturing Judy. Listen with closed eyes as you can also hear happiness in her expert delivery of some great classics. This album also helps portray the 'long life' Judy had as singer, she was so young, she was so punished by those who should have looked after her. To think this talanted young person was used mainy as a vessel for studios to make money, she died young because of this. Another album we lovers of Judy must have in our collection It seems Judy is getting a new awarness, lets hope we continue to see more re-released and remastered recordings.... Read review
