About this album

Judith is a graceful and persuasive showcase for Judy Collins at mid-1970s peak form, balancing folk-rooted intimacy with polished pop and soft-rock arrangements. Released in 1975, the album is best known for her widely admired reading of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send In The Clowns”, a performance that helped define the song for a broad audience. Across the record, Collins combines clear-toned vocals with material from contemporary songwriters and standards, giving the album both emotional reach and interpretive authority. The result is one of her most approachable and enduring releases, where careful phrasing and strong song selection do the heavy lifting.
