Maid of Constant Sorrow

The debut album release by Judy Collins, A Maid of Constant Sorrow was issued in November 1961 and featuresa collection of traditional folk songs. As an album, it finds Judy relying more on her own enthusiasm for the materialsinging in a much deeper and heavier style than she would later become accustomed to.The album therefore serves as a pointer of future style; there are several that cover social and political protest,similar in style to Bob Dylan (he too would record Man Of Constant Sorrow). In short, this album is the perfectcompanion to Golden Apples of the Sun, also available on Hallmark. Together they showcase to perfection theearly, formative years of Judy Collins, who would go on to become regarded the leading female artist of the folkmovement.
