"Greatest hits" collections, especially of an artist as prolific as Judy Collins, are risky things. This is particularly true in her case since her style has varied so much with the years. Still, this compilation includes most of what I regard as the high points among her many albums, and several iconic tracks: I would certainly place her versions of Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn," Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne," and Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon" in this category. "Both Sides Now," one of her biggest radio hits, sounds a bit dated now with its late 60s mix of rock drumming and symphony strings; still, Collins' voice is at its smoothest here and her sincerity is hard to resist, as is also the case with her elaborately produced versions of the traditional "Amazing Grace" and "Farewell to Tarwathie."There are some missed opportunities in terms of giving the fullest portrait of Collins the artist. "So Early, Early in the Spring" I guess will do as the other representative of her early, folk period, bolstered by the superb guitar playing; I personally would have preferred the inclusion of one of her harder-edged protest songs from "#3" or the "Judy Collins Concert." Finally, a couple of misfires: the weird, chamber-music version of Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" and the over-orchestrated, misguided mix of Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning," that has unfortunately supplanted the charming live recording even on the CD reissue of "Living," its original home. Still, overall, this album is a vivid portrait of the evolution of a uniquely gifted American singer.
