Title: Age has caught up with Collins' Voice
Review: I'm a huge Judy Collins fan and love her stuff from the 70's and think her album of Dylan covers in the 90's was great. However, time has caught up with Judy's voice. She sounds frail and wobbly frequently. If she'd recorded this album 20 years ago with a stronger voice, it might have been a great album. As is, however, it's sometimes difficult to listen to. Her cover of Train's huge hit "Drops of Jupiter" is particularly painful. And using a synthesizer to fill in for an entire orchestra on Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" is just wrong. This album is for hardcore Collins' fans only. But even they have to be very forgiving of the effects of age on Collins' once crystalline voice.
