Music reviews of Wildflowers / Who Knows Where the Time Goes
Music Review: Classic albums from 1967 and 1968
Rating: 5 Stars
Judy Collins was trained in classical music, but became interested in folk music before beginning her recording career as a traditional folk singer in the early sixties. As the sixties progressed, she absorbed other influences.
Wildflowers, from 1967, utilized orchestral backing that replaced the simple guitar that dominated the instrumentation on her earliest recordings. However, Judy's outstanding voice still retained its place as the primary instrument over all others. The album features three of Judy's own compositions (Since you asked, Sky fell, Albatross), three of Leonard Cohen's (Priests, Sisters of mercy, Hey that's no way to say goodbye) and two of Joni Mitchell's (Both sides now, Michael from mountains) among its ten tracks. One of the other two tracks (Song of old lovers) is a translation of a Jacques Brel song, while the other (A ballata of Francesco Landini) is a very old Italian song. Both sides now (which Joni begged Judy to record) provided Judy with an American top ten pop hit, thereby catapulting both Judy and Joni into the big time. Joni later recorded her own version (first released on Clouds) as did countless other singers including Glen Campbell, Andy Williams and Neil Diamond among others.
Who knows where the time goes?, from 1968, represented another stylistic change, this time to a country-folk-rock sound, the instruments even including a steel guitar played by Buddy Emmons. This album features a broader range of songwriters, though still mostly steeped in the folk music tradition. This was a nine-track album, but the length of some of the tracks makes the playing time about the same as for a normal ten-track album of the era. Judy only wrote one song here (My father) but included two of Leonard Cohen's (Story of Isaac, Bird on the wire). There's also a Bob Dylan song (Poor immigrant) while the title track was written by Sandy Denny, the British singer-songwriter who first came to public attention via the Strawbs and, later and more famously, Fairport Convention. For all the brilliance of these tracks, the standout on this album is Someday soon, an Ian Tyson song that provided Judy with another American hit single. The song has become a country standard, being covered by Crystal Gayle and Suzy Bogguss among others.
These two albums represent, for some, the very best period of Judy's career. It's easy to understand why people think that way, but Judy recorded many other excellent albums that are worth hearing. If these two are Judy's best (and I'm not sure if they are), there are several others that are not far behind them.
