New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Judy Collins, the endlessly prolific singer, songwriter, author and activist, will release 'Strangers Again,' her first studio album in four years, this Friday
September 18. The album is currently #1 on Amazon's
Music chart, propelled by an in-depth interview segment on NPR's Weekend Edition that just aired. Collins was just featured in USA Today as well.
Judy is golden-voiced and soaring over this fresh collection, with sparkling interpretations of songs by Leonard Bernstein and Sondheim,
Randy Newman and
James Taylor. She invited a number of special guests to join her - "men who have carved out the melodies and the memories of the decades--past and present--with their beautiful and soulful voices, interpretations and song-writing," she says. They include friends old and new, icons and young talents alike: Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffett, Don McLean, Jeff Bridges, Glen Hansard, Willie
Nelson and more.
Judy will be touring through the end of 2015 and will celebrate her new release with in-store Q&As and signings in NYC, Washington and
Chicago coming up this weekend and next week.
