a bad idea thirty years too late and gone horribly wrong

Format:Audio CD
First, Judy still has a beautiful voice.
So, if you are a hard-core Judy Collins fan AND you have never heard the original version of these songs OR covers by others like the Byrds, the Band, Jimi Hendrix, Sting, Aaron Neville, etc, etc, AND you enjoy pretentious sacchrine synthetic syrupy sentimental arrangements of great songs, ....maybe, just maybe give it a try.
If you are a Dylan fan in any of his incarnations, forget it.
I realize Collins is a friend and sincere admirer of Dylan. And my friend who lent it to me likes it. But each time I played it for other colleagues in my office, it had them doubled over in guffaws and fits of horse laughs before she got out the second line of the first track (Like a Rolling Stone). The fits got progressively worse as the song progressed.
I give it one star for humor. Its other redeeming quality is that it could have been worse.
She could have recorded a CD titled - JUDY COLLINS SINGS ROBERT JOHNSON Hellhound On My Trail.
If she ever does, I'd most assuredly have to give it a bullet.
doesn't cut it

Judy Collin's voice sounds somewhat strained on this CD, plus it is one of those annoying CDs where the music overwhelms the voice and you can't always hear the words. Frustrating. The love letter to Bob Dylan on the CD cover is embarassing. She comes across as a self-indulgent overly-romantic middle aged woman.
Buy "Any Day Now" by Joan Baez instead.

I Love Dylan's Compositions but not His Voice so.....

This was perfect for me because Judy Collins has a gorgeous voice that has never been in finer form than it is here. Plus there are some reworkings of the tunes into arrangements that I also like better than the original Dylan arrangements. I think all of the songs have never sounded better but even if you hated everything else, "Like A Rolling Stone" and "Just Like a Woman" are worth the price of admission alone. Plus I never knew Judy could "rock" but she certainly does on "Gotta Serve Somebody." It is a relatively new phenomenon where singers are expected to also be first rate composer-lyricists. Fortunately, in Rodgers & Hart's day, by contrast, no one expected them to sing their own tunes (thank God as it would have been awful). Singers who could beautifully interpret their joint compositions were prized, as Collins should be here. She brings his compositions to life for a whole other audience, interpreting Dylan's work in a way he has not been able to do,and we are richer for the experience. This album is for sale super cheap at both Amazon itself (new) and Amazon Market Place. It is a downright steal at either place and you should not pass up this great deal!

Judy Sings Just Like A Memory!
This is really a lovely album by a more mature Judy Collins, who is still in full voice and ready to rock and roll a little around the edges in delivering what she characterizes as... Read more

I like six of these 11 choices a great deal. The other five seem elongated unneccessarily, over-produced, and even pretentious. Read more

Beautiful Covers
I stumbled into this CD at the library - never would have picked it up at a record store. After I returned it, it stayed in my mind for a year until finally I had to buy it. Read more

Good-bye yellow brick road, Judy's back in Kansas
Sometimes an album cover tells it all, and if this cover was true to the music, I knew it was going to be an outstanding collection. Read more

Absolutely Stunning
I have never been much of a Judy Collins fan, but this album of Dylan's songs combined with her voice is nothing short of beautiful. Read more

Almost perfection
One of the great undiscovered/unheralded albums of the 90's. Too bad, it's almost perfection. What a combination - Dylan's devastatingly insightful lyrics and Judy's vulnerable,... Read more

INDEED COLLINS SINGS * * * *
Judy sings Dylan, clearer and with much spunk on this recording. Every word rings out on this one. With powerful words and messages by Bob Dylan, Judy lyrically empowers them. Read more

Judy's voice + Dylan's tunes = great listening
Judy Collins' clear, clean voice does justice to most of these great Dylan tunes. Her rendition of "Love Minus Zero" is a standout. Read more
