While Judy Collins had been singing songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney ever since her mid-1960s albums, JUDY COLLINS SINGS LENNON AND MCCARTNEY was her first album-length collection of tunes by the pair. The 12 songs include some surprising but effective choices, such as a rethinking of McCartney's "Golden Slumbers" as the lullaby it was always meant to be, and a wry version of the jaunty "When I'm 64" colored by the fact that Collins herself is a few years beyond that age. Recorded in a simple piano-trio format, the album sounds like a night in a comfortable, unpretentious cabaret, and Collins is in exquisite voice throughout.
Tracklist
Judy Collins
One of the best female folksingers of the '60s, Judy Collins championed other important songwriters (Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen) and eventually incorporated elements of cabaret and sophisticated pop a la Sondheim and Kurt Weill.
