Product Description
Born To The Breed is an all-star tribute to one of the leading lights of the folk music movement, Judy Collins, and is released through her own independent record label Wildflower Records. The idea for Breed came from a casual compliment Collins received from another iconic female singer. "It started because Chrissie Hynde said to me, 'You know, one of my top 10 favourite songs is 'My Father.' And I thought, 'Why don't I get her to record that?'" says Collins. Other singers contributing to the project include Joan Baez, Rufus Wainwright, Dolly Parton, Hynde, Dar Williams, Jimmy Webb, Shawn Colvin, Leonard Cohen, Arlo Guthrie, Amy Speace, The Webb Sisters and Puressence's James Mudriczki.

Here's hoping it's more songs and less poetry.

Have to say the title is a bit odd...everytime I see it, I intially think I'm seeing "Born to Breed", which would be more approriate for the Cramps or some other band of that ilk...

Exactly! Had the same reaction!

"Born To The Breed" is one of Judy's better known compositions from her JUDITH album in 1975. It was written about her then teen-aged son, Clark. Sadly, he committed suicide in 1992.

I collect Shawn Colvin, but none of the other artists interest me. Grr.

for me it's colvin and chrissy hynde, have to think used on this one.
