Everybody Knows (Gate)

Vinyl LP pressing in a gorgeous gatefold jacket with free poster. 2017 release. Judy Collins and Stephen Stills together at last! Two folk legends of Laurel Canyon's countercultural music scene join forces on this gorgeous album of all new recordings! Features captivating versions of classic tunes by fellow folk icons Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen plus a few of their own compositions! It was easy for Judy Collins to put a little something extra into her performance of Leonard Cohen's song "Everybody Knows" on the album. After all, it was Judy's encouragement and her recordings of Cohen songs like "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire" that helped get Cohen's career off the ground in the '60s. It was also in the '60s that Collins first met Stephen Stills (remember "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"?) and first collaborated with him. In fact, this album features an update on the first song they wrote together, 1968's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." Also here is "Judy," a duet version of a late-'60s Stills demo. Judy and Stephen's harmonies are just heavenly all across this recording, which also features a new spin on CSNY's "Carry On" and the new Collins composition "River of Gold".!
