I think Judy Collin's rendition of "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is >tops for me
Judy's version of "Moon is a harsh Mistress" is on the album called 'Judith'. Readily available because the popular "Send in the Clowns" was on the same LP.Which album is this on?
I can definitely recommend some Judy albums if you are interested. I have everything she has ever done. I thinks she is increadible. Her writing is so good and complex because she has studied the best(Mitchell, Dylan and Cohen) and to that she has added her classical musical training. The combination makes a kind of music that is all her own. Listening to some of those early Judy albums makes me think I sitting under a tree in some ancient feudal country. Class, Total Class!
There is a CD out that is just Judy's voice and her piano playing. On this CD she does only her own compositions. The piano playing is out of this world! It is available through her web site. Worth every penny!
Linda loves Patsy but what ever you do, don't call her a C& W singer. You're lucky if you walk away with just a slap! For some reason she takes great offense to this. I've seen her be down right vicious in some interviews(too vicious to imply that the writer had anything to do with it). On TV too! I will give her this much, she is usually in the right.I think Linda (along with most every singer in C&W) owes a lot to >Patsy.
I'm saying that the slim, doe-eyed, Cinderella-ensnared-by-drugs >character that she played wasn't much like the real Billie Holiday.I think Billie Holiday herself has much to blame for all the inaccuracies because she rarly told the truth about her own life.
Her autobiografy is well know to be riddled with more fantasy than fact. It was not till really recent probing into records that we found out the truths about her life. Some things found out about her life as a baby and small child she may not have even been aware of herself. Her life parralel that of another great interpretive singer. The main difference is that Janis Joplin wanted everything to be know(after she was dead). Buried Alive in the Blues is a great read even if you don't like Janis. I remember cringing through the chapters. I think Janis expected to die young.
That is a major problem with Tori, you know she probably saying something profound, you just don't know what!I do think Tori is talented but her lyrics are often too obtuse for me.
As if breast feeding a baby pig wasn't enough indication that she was out there. Those preacher's daughters! A lot of them end up wacked for some reason(no offense).
Mark, did you say you were an owner of "Maids and Golden Apples" or a PROUD owner of "Maids and Golden Apples"?I bought a Judy Collins cd a while back called 'Maids and Golden >Apples'
I NEED to hear you say the right way! Please!?!?
Will
