Judy Collins has released her new album Live At The Town Hall, NYC, today. She recorded it live at the Town Hall in New York City with a full band in February of this year, when she hosted a livestream concert from the historic and otherwise empty venue due to the pandemic. This new live recording revisits her legendary 1964 performance at the Town Hall, which was her solo concert debut in NYC. In February, Collins revisited nearly the same setlist as her 1964 concert, including “Winter Sky,” “My Ramblin Boy,” “Coal Tattoo” and “Cruel Mother.” Collins’ setlist reflected the need for comfort and protest in light of the turmoil that beset the nation, both then and now. New additions to the setlist include longtime standards in her repertoire including “Both Sides Now” and “Send In The Clowns.”

In July, Collins also premiered Since You’ve Asked, her very own podcast series. Hosted by Collins, it features some of her favorite musicians, artists and luminaries from her colorful life including Jeff Daniels, Julia Cameron, Ben Harper, Arlo Guthrie, Clive Davis, Molly Jong Fast, Christiane Amanpour, Jac Holzman, Betty Buckley and Pat Allerton. Several episodes have aired, with the remainder of the season posting every other Thursday into October. The most recent episode features London’s “portable priest” and Vicar Pat Allerton, who broadcast Collins’ famous 1970 recording of “Amazing Grace” onto the streets and outside of hospitals in London during his sermons as the pandemic first unfolded in spring of 2020. The next episode will feature Betty Buckley on September 9th.
The podcast is available on all major platforms and distributed by SIMPLECAST: https://since-youve-asked.simplecast.com/
