Show Notes

I recently changed my music source from Sirius XM to Pandora. As an avid fan of Folk and Country Music, it turned out to be a wise decision. Now, I can listen to my favorite recording artists singing songs from the 60’s through the 90’s. And lately, several of those songs are appearing on this blog.

Like the previous song I posted here, “Silver Skies Blue” captured my attention almost immediately. I had never heard it before because, prior to Pandora, I had never listened to Judy Collins’ music the way I do now. In addition to Silver Skies Blue, I’ve posted several of Judy’s cover and original songs, including: When I Was a Girl in Colorado, Suzanne, and Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye.

The album “Silver Skies Blue” features songs by Collins and Ari Hest, who also performs with his polished guitar playing and powerful, deep voice that complements Judy’s higher one perfectly. Released in 2016, the album earned Collins her first Grammy nomination in 40 years.

Episode Transcript

[00:00:06] When the light uncovers you, I will sing a morning song. [00:00:13] Like a sparrow in an oak tree. [00:00:16] Till the dream say so long. [00:00:20] You will turn around to see me lying eager next to you. [00:00:29] I color your silver skies blue. [00:00:35] As the s spray arrives. [00:00:39] I will dance you through the green. [00:00:42] Guiding every new footstep. Till you recall our routine. [00:00:49] And you will slow me down and hold me closer to your grip is true. [00:00:58] You color my silver skies blue. [00:01:04] Oh, the rush of love with its tender breeze. [00:01:11] Firming up the roots. [00:01:15] Cooling off the leaves we clutch. Deeper in the soil we grow taller towards the blue. [00:01:27] I color your silver skies blue. [00:02:01] When the moon is in the sky, I will sing a nighttime song. [00:02:08] Like a beacon from a lighthouse. Shining light that's very strong. [00:02:15] I will touch you then and hold you for a lifetime and be true. [00:02:24] I'll color your silver skies blue. [00:02:30] Oh, the rush of love with its tender breeze. [00:02:37] Firming up the roots, cooling off the leaves we clutch. Deeper in the soil we grow taller towards the blue. [00:02:53] I color your silver skies blue. [00:02:59] When the noise is all that's there in your poor embattled mine. I will touch you on the heart so your body you can find. [00:03:13] And then you'll turn around to see me lying eager next to you. [00:03:22] I'll color your silver skies blue. [00:03:28] I'll color your silver skies blue. [00:03:35] I'll color your your silver skies blue.
