Both Joan Baez and Judy Collins are stunning performers, but I have to say I much prefer the guitar work and overall spirit of this version. Thank God for Judy!
I am astonished as to how I have listened to Joan Baez almost religiously every day for the past year since discovering her, and yet, have failed to come across this gem of a voice. I feel like I've missed out big time. Now, I must catch up.. :)
YES, YES, YES, thank you for posting this. I saw her in a concert at Town Hall in Philadelphia as she, plus the Brandywine Singers were the two opening acts for the Christy Minstrals. I became an instant fan and caught her about three years later in concert as she was THE solo act. I had to beg a friend of mine to go with me to it (because he had never heard of her). He became an instant fan. I was her biggest fan until she followed Dylan and went electric. She was a pure folk singer.
I agree with taddy1, especially as regards Joan, Judy & Odetta. I could wish that this video were of better technical quality. But I'm glad it's there.
I was already a Joan Baez fan when I heard Judy's first album -- found there's room in our hearts for all great singers. Judy will always be one of my favorites.
I agree ! The folk Divas are often overlooked by VH1 etc. I love Joan, Judy, Buffy, Odetta,
Mary T, Barbra Dane, Carolyn Hester, Judith Durham and more. Collins and Baez are like Ella and Sarah, Mahalia and Marion, Aretha and Patty, Dolly and Tammy etc. We all have are favs but soooo many are great.
very appropriate for that audience...

There's only one Judy Collins. Such a noble song -- and she is so young!

Très beau, mais je préfère quand même la version de Joan Baez, peut-être parce que je l'ai beaucoup écoutée...

This song would be super bad ass if there were violins playing to it.

I find Collins' voice much more palatible that Baez. Although I love Joan Baez, Judy Collins pitch is easier on the ears.

Excellent! Only viewed 3922 times in almost a year. Off the radar or under appreciated -- or both.

Fantastic. Judy Collins is surely the greatest female folk singer. Only Joni Mitchell and Sandy Denny come anywhere close.

Ah yes then there's Joan Baez--check her version of this song done years before this--not to mention Karen Dalton.

Joan Baez's rendition of the song, recorded when she was about 22, is hauntingly beautiful and I actually prefer it marginally to that of Collins.

Joan Baez could outsing Judy Collins anyday though..Judy is OK, but Joanie sings THE definitive version of this song

The great Judy Collins, in her glorious prime. I love folk music and twelve-string guitars.

The modern story of Penelope and Ulysses ... It's on Judy's Elektra's first album. Comparison with Joan Baez's version is very interesting.
I love this song sang by Judy. It is even better than on the record !
Great thanks !
