Album Notes & Community Reviews

Signaling a shift away from strictly traditional material, 'Fifth Album' finds Judy Collins acting as a premier interpreter for the emerging generation of contemporary folk songwriters. She delivers early, crystalline versions of compositions by Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, and Richard Fari帽a, backed by increasingly sophisticated acoustic arrangements. The record solidified her role as a vital tastemaker within the 1960s folk revival.
