New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stephen
Stills and Judy Collins have released 'Everybody Knows,' a riveting ten-song collection that breathes new life into a trove of gems from their five-decade intertwined history. The album is brimming with rich harmonies from two of American music's most unmistakable voices, accompanied by Stills' storied guitar work and a tight-knit three-piece behind them. On 'Everybody Knows,'
Stills and Collins reflect on fifty years of music and friendship, beginning with their tumultuous love affair in the late 1960s. Among current albums, 'Everybody Knows' debuted at #45 on Billboard's Top Current Albums chart, #1 on Amazon's Folk chart, #6 on Billboard's Americana/Folk chart and #26 on their Physical Albums chart.

Music deemed the Leonard Cohen-penned title track a Songs We Love selection, noting "as
Stills and Collins wind their voices around the song's incantatory, minor-key melody in a hypnotic, almost spooky, harmony, the depth and gravity of Cohen's observations gain easier access to the soul." The title track holds special significance for Collins, who was a close friend of Cohen's and the first artist to ever sing his work. Listen here: https://n.pr/2vSoU8X

Stills and Collins have penned a number of songs about one another throughout the years, perhaps most famously the Crosby,
Stills and Nash juggernaut "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." 'Everybody Knows' finds the pair revisiting some of this work, including Stills' "Judy," a 1968 demo which remained lost for decades, and Collins' "Houses," from her 1975 Platinum-selling 'Judith' album. 'Everybody Knows' comes in the midst of an illustrious three-year stretch for Collins: her 2015 record 'Strangers Again' earned her highest Billboard 200 debut in almost 30 years, and 2016's 'Silver Skies Blue' earned her first GRAMMY nomination since 1976.
