The pair will release the album, “Everybody Knows,” in September. The title is a tribute to Collins’ late friend, Leonard Cohen, whose career she helped jump-start in the ‘60s by putting his “Suzanne” on her hit album, “In My Life.” Recording Cohen’s songs is hardly a novelty for Collins - in 2004, she released the album “Judy Collins Sings Leonard Cohen: Democracy” - but the bittersweet version of “Everybody Knows” on the release with Stills is the first she’s covered Cohen’s material since his November death.Ĭhatting from Chicago recently with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The River (97.1 FM), Collins explained the format of the concert, and delved into her lifelong relationships with Stills and Cohen. The live outing, which plays Atlanta Symphony Hall on Wednesday, is a preview of their collaborative album, “Everybody Knows,” which arrives Sept. The romance didn’t last beyond that infectious valentine, but Collins, 78, and Stills, 72, never broke ties and now, the folk icons are sharing the stage on their first-ever joint tour. The late-‘60s romance between Stephen Stills and Judy Collins is immortalized in Crosby, Stills & Nash lore (and discography) in “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.”
It’s a 50-year friendship that is finally taking a public bow.
