In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environment al injustices. \n\nFive decades later\, her luminescent presence shines br ightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contempor ary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Cl owns\,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. \nShe’s garnered several top-ten hits gold- and platinum-selling albums . Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, S hawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her leg acy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. The cultu ral treasure’s 55th album\, Spellbound\, was released in February 2022\, finds Judy enjoying an artistic renaissance. The 13 song album is a speci al entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the son gs on one of her albums. It features 12 new recently-written modern folk s ongs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. It unfolds as if Judy cura ted a museum exhibit of her life\, and welcomed us into a retrospective of her most formative moments\, some big and public\, and some intensely per sonal and intimate. \nSpellbound was nominated in the Best Folk Album cate gory at the 65th Recording Academy Grammy Awards in 2023. While maintainin g her rigorous touring schedule\, Judy released her first book of poetry i n March of 2025 with Andrews McNeel Publishing. Written with the bold vuln erability that Judy Collins is best known for\, Sometimes It’s Heaven is a timeless collection of poetry that captures the ethereal and inspiring nature of her artistry in an all-new way. Biographical and relatable\, Som etimes It’s Heaven is a must-read for fans of poetry\, fans of Judy\, an d fans of truth.
