Everybody Knows

• Track Listing

It was easy for Judy Collins to put a little something extra into her performance of Leonard Cohen’s song "Everybody Knows" on this new album. After all, it was Judy’s encouragement and her recordings of Cohen songs like "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire" that helped get Cohen’s career off the ground in the ’60s. It was also in the ’60s that Collins first met Stephen Stills (remember "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"?) and first collaborated with him. In fact, this album features an update on the first song they wrote together, 1968’s "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." Also here is "Judy," a duet version of a late-’60s Stills demo. Judy and Stephen’s harmonies are just heavenly all across this recording, which also features a new spin on CSNY’s "Carry On" and the new Collins composition "River of Gold" plus "Handle with Care," "So Begins the Task," "Houses," stellar renditions of the mid-’60s classics "Girl from the North Country" and "Reason to Believe" and more. For fans of ’60s folk and folk-rock, it doesn’t get much better than this heartfelt new collaboration between two cherished icons of Laurel Canyon’s counterculture scene! Wildflower/Cleopatra.
