Released: 1967
Wildflowers
by Judy Collins
The 814th greatest album of all time
Wildflowers (1967) finds Judy Collins moving beyond straight folk into a softer folk rock and soft rock palette, pairing her clear soprano with both intimate acoustic settings and fuller, string-accented arrangements. The album includes Collins' interpretations of contemporary songwriters, notably an early cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now", and emphasizes lyrical storytelling and warm, vocal-centered production.
