Judy Collins’ Spellbound Earns GRAMMY Nomination For Best Folk Album

Judy Collins’ Spellbound Earns GRAMMY Nomination For Best Folk Album

Spellbound Is Collins’ First Album Of All Original Songs In Her Career 

30+Date Tour Scheduled From November Into June Includes Collins Playing Her 1967 Album Wildflowers Front-to-Back With Full Orchestra

 

Congratulations to Judy Collins for earning a Best Folk Album GRAMMY Nomination for her album SpellboundSpellbound is a remarkable first for Collins - the “ageless wild angel of pop” according to the New York Times: while she’s released nearly 30 studio albums, Spellbound is the very first of all original, self-penned songs in her career. Collins has also been incredibly prolific in the past few years - this is her sixth full album release since 2016. 

This is Collins’ first nomination in six years and her seventh GRAMMY Nomination overall. She previously won Best Folk Performance in 1969 for her recording of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.”

Collins dedicated the album to two of her biggest influences, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. Spellbound’s songs explore her experiences with substance abuse (she’s now many years sober), the Greenwich Village scene in the early 60’s, her love for the nature and the vast open spaces of Colorado, where she was born and raised, and her appreciation for Thomas Merton, a Trappist Monk and activist who mysteriously died.  

Spellbound led to features and interviews with the NY Times, NY Magazine / VultureBillboardPeople MagazineNPR's World Cafe and WNYC All of Itamong others. imbuing them with emotional depth and the incandescent splendor of artistic genius."

Collins, who is still averaging nearly 100 shows a year on the road, has over 30 performances scheduled between November and June. Six of these concerts are dedicated to Wildflowers, her 1967 album. She’ll be performing the album front to back, with a full orchestra.
