New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - One of the most haunting, affecting songs on Judy Collins' new album 'Paradise' (Wildflower) is "Gauguin," written by Jimmy Webb, a deeply felt and complex ballad that Collins sings with her trademark crystalline passion, "as fresh and full of wonder as ever" (USA Today). The song uses the French artist's move to Polynesia as an investigation into the real meaning of paradise - thus, the album's title.

"Gauguin" was the reason Collins made the album. Says the singer Mojo called "one of the greatest interpreters of modern times": "It was a very, very, very challenging song, perhaps the most challenging song I've ever learned. It was more like learning an opera for me. But I'm crazy about it, and it's my new favorite song."

Judy Collins is currently touring North America. Tour dates are here:
