JUDY COLLINS ~ The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress ~.wmv

[occiaballa]

If amethysts could sing, they would sing like Judy Collins. Chapeau!

[Dolphin2302]

I still cry too.........

[lordlucky666999]

hay no aguanto que cancion tan bien hecha, busco la traduccion *__* es buenisima

[grofys]

i like both judy's and linda's versions. the latter sounds more country, the former truer to judy's folk roots.

[JOSECANUCCJ]

Outstanding recording, my favorite version and one of my all time favorite songs. I played the "Judith" CD so much I wore it out. One of my best memories was having this on my Walkman [b4 MP3s] and listening to it as I jogged near the Golden Gate Bridge, and yes, the moon was rising!

[ginaturkey]

i can't thank you enough for posting this. the words i need to capture all the memories associated with this song are endless and impossible.

[jonasjar]

as much as I normally love Judy, she doesn't hold a candle against Radka Toneff on this one, sorry no offense!

[jimdivax]

Sorry Ronstadt lovers. Much prefer the mountain-stream simplicity of Collins' reading. Just touches me more. Mind you I never GOT Linda Ronstadt.....always sounded whiny to me.

[dannys2222]

LINDA RONSTADT IS QUEEN OF THE BALLADS!!! NO ONE SINGS THIS SONG BETTER THEN LINDA!!!! U PEOPLE MUST BE DEAF!!!!

[dannys2222]

JUDY DOES A REALLY NICE VOICE!!! BUT LINDA RONSTADT SINGS IT A LOT BETTER!!!!!

[justinlwerner]

This is the first version of the song that I ever heard, and it's still far and away my favorite version. And 'Judith' is one of my all time favorite albums.

Great Judy & Great song !

Great thanks !

[GerryAtrick48]

such a sweet, sonorous voice and such a tender rendition of a song that speaks of yearnings, longings and something elusive that's impossible to hold on to. accompanied by lovely piano and strings that make up a beautifully crafted and moving piece of music. magic!

[dannys2222]

NOT AS GOOD AS LINDA,S VERSIONS BUT DEF THE NEXT BEST THING!!!!

[SKeeney5]

Have you heard Glen Campbell's version? It's my fav!

[Procrastimaster]

I heard this sung by Celtic Woman and knew it must have been done by someone else first. When this video came up, I couldn't believe it--I got this LP for Christmas, and hadn't realized I already knew the song! Her version is definitely the best! :)

[dannys2222]

LINDA RONSTADT SINGS THIS WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!

[jpeyton62]

This version has all the irony, sadness, and depth that one could ask for. Judy Collins is playing piano and was a child prodigy. She was playing Mozart concertos and Liszt pieces in her early teensa great musician, songwriter, and singer.

@jpeyton62

I agree, I think the beautifully sad lyrics like the one you find in this song is best sung with a tender voice like that of Judy Collin's. Moments like these don't have to be presented in an absolute dramatic way, because the words and music together express itself.

[SAYZ]

Judy Collins is so beautiful and she just gets more so , with time .

[SAYZ]

Judy Collins and those beautifully , huge eyes she only gets more and more beautiful !

I love this song and the whole Judith collection , as wel as so many of her other works !

[cdtseng]

the definitive version!

[Scout4Me1]

@cdtseng I think so, too.

[jkoncz]

@cdtseng me too without a doubt!

[bobbyiscool1992]

@cdtseng Agreed

[RosaLui]

My favorite version. It always makes me cry.

[Scout4Me1]

@RosaLui

Hope all your dreams come true. Take care.

[texxray5]

my mom died 2 years ago - predictably - still unexpectedly.she was so conservative,yet i found this song on a tape.she wanted send in the clowns played at her funeral,this was 2nd song on that tape.i know shes no joni or janis - but she helped my mother relate...thank you for helping me find it again.

[Scout4Me1]

@texxray5

I`m so sorry about your mom. She sounded like a gentle person. I`m glad your mom chose "Send In The Clowns". It`s a very, very nice song. Take care.

[Sweeteesweet1]

@texxray5

Judy's a genius. She didn't compose songs (ala Joni) or scream her head off, but she's got a lovelier voice and a more memorable way of interpreting a song than either, and that's an art unto itself. It's wonderful she brought your mother some happiness, and you too.

[jubjub2112]

I have been looking for this version of this song for so long now!! Thank you so much for posting this . . . God . . . this song still makes me cry . . . makes me think of my mom when I was little

[opalschild]

Thanks for posting. My favorite Judy song. Although a fan of Joan, I prefer Judy on this one. Prayers to your cousin to come one day safe .

[jkoncz]

@opalschild Judy version is the best ever recorded of this song but what a lovely song and so many did it justice just Judy did it best period!!

[nataliapopova]

thank you for this music and great video

[LindsayCurran]

Myself, I love BOTH Judy Collins, AND Joan Baez! Were I to pick one or the other, would be like choosing which of my brohers/sisters is my favorite! Sure hope your cousin returns safe and sound, Scout4Me!

[Scout4Me1]

Thanks Lindsay. Take care.

[Baez971]

I'm sorry but I do prefer Joan's version. I've always found that Judy Collins' way of singin was too "perfect". I prefer Joan's voice because it is more "brutal", more from the soul.

[meltzerboy]

I agree with you regarding THIS recording, but not necessarily other songs they both sang.
