Judy Collins, Dar Williams

Few singers have the staying power of folk icon Judy Collins. She has released more than 40 albums and inspired millions with her voice. In the early ‘60s, Collins was drawn to the songs of social poets Tom Paxton and Bob Dylan, and her early albums In My Life and Wildflowers broke new ground in the contemporary song movement. Her first major single “Both Sides Now” earned her first of many Grammy nominations. Collins started her independent record label Wildflower Records in 1999, which donates a portion of its profits to charity.
