JUDY COLLINS — Grand Canyon

From the forthcoming Judy Collins album Spellbound, new single Grand Canyon, written by Judy Collins, has a street date of 18th February 2022; impact date is TBC. A marvellous animated video accompanies the captivating single...

Judy Collins talks about Grand Canyon in the album liner notes:

“I spent my years from the ages of nine to twenty-one in Colorado. I worked in the mountain ranches and spent time with the cowboys. I rode horses and hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park. With my first husband I ran Fern Lake Lodge in Estes Park, a rugged, pine-built palace with no running water and no electricity. It was heaven. I know if I’d not wound up in a singing career I would’ve gone to work for the Park Service. Some of my friends were Long’s Peak rangers, and the guy who sang me the first cowboy folk songs I ever heard ran float trips down the Snake River in Wyoming. It’s him I was thinking about in this song: Dick Barker, hero of the Rocky Mountains.”

Spellbound is the first ever of Judy Collins' albums to feature all her own songs. Collins has created an album that unfolds as a curated exhibition of her remarkable life, welcoming listeners into her formative moments.

In her album liner notes, Collins dedicates the album to folk masters Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, whose traditions of generously sharing their lives, loves, and reflections are carried forward in Spellbound’s honest and personal songwriting.

Collins has long been celebrated for her song interpretation and has shared a host of beloved original songs since her early albums, but never before has she created an album entirely of her own work, until now...
