Judy Collins - Fires Eden

Digitally re-mastered edition of this 1990 album from the veteran Folk/Pop artist. Fires of Eden marked Judy Collins' debut on Columbia Records, and she seemed to rise to the occasion with her best overall body of new material in more than a decade. The opening cut, "The Blizzard," a seven-minute epic that rates alongside any of Collins' most beautiful work from her classic years on Elektra. Her version of "The Air That I Breathe" is featured here along with "From a Distance. The production and instrumentation are the fullest heard on one of Collins' records since her transition from Folk music to art song on the Wildflowers album, which makes the best of the melodies here come alive in rich and robust fashion.
