Search - Judy Collins :: Who Knows Where the Time Goes

Simply Put, THE Classic Folk-Rock Album of Her Career!

"This effort is easily the single best album in Judy Collins' long and illustrous career. From the opening phrases of "Hello, Horray!" to the final chords of "Pretty Polly", this brilliant effort never stops delighting and amazing the listener with its unique combination of brilliant song writing and selection, vocal performances, and musical scoring and accompaniment. This one went off all the charts, folks, as her first effort after the blockbuster success she experienced with "Both Sides Now". With rock luminaries like Stephen Stills (who wrote his hit song, "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" about Collins) singing harmonies, and also playing bass and acoustic counterpoint to Judy's own acoustic guitar work, the album absolutely soars in songs like "Someday Soon", "My Father", "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", "Poor Immigrant" and "First Boy I Loved". There really isn't a single dog on the whole album, and the musical style and substance is truly timeless. Put it on the machine and sit back to be entertained, moved, and amazed at what this talented and ageless singer and some her friends and lovers have given to the ages. Simply put, this is an absolutely matchless piece of music history you should be able to experience and enjoy again and again. So enjoy!"

A Folk rock masterpiece

"This Collins at her best. The backing muscians are superb and her voice never sounded better than it does here. The tile cut penned by the great Sandy Denny, is one of the best songs to come out of the late 60's, and she does it beautifully.The track that grabs me the most though is Pretty Polly, though there's not one lackluster track to be found here. It all shines. There are 2 female folk rock albums that in my opinion are the best of the genre. This runs a close second To "Sandy" from Sandy Denny in 1972. If you like this, you've got to check out Denny"

Judy Collins' Best CD

H. F. Corbin | ATLANTA, GA USA | 01/11/2003

"This CD is simply the best recording Judy Collings ever made. The photo of Judy barefoot and wearing a long, rose colored peasant dress complete with floppy black hat is hopelessly 60's but that is the only thing dated about this CD. The music is as fresh and wonderful as the day Ms. Collins made the original album. I believe this is the first recording that Judy went electric on; she is joined here by Stephen Stills on electric guitar or electric bass on many of the songs. There is not an uninteresting cut on this CD from Dylan's "Poor Immigrant" to the two Leonard Cohen songs: "My Father" and "Bird on the Wire." Then there is Ian Tyson's rollicking "Someday Soon" and Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." My favorite, however, is Judy's own "My Father," where she establishes herself as a fine lyric poet as well as a singer of incomparable talent. The haunting lines from this lovely song "and watch the Paris sun set in my father's eyes" are particularly poignant if you know that Ms. Collins' father was blind.If I were stranded on a desert island, I'd take this CD with me."
