Judy Collins' musical ambitions often seemed to be a bit broader (and her style a shade more theatrical) than most of her contemporaries on the East Coast folk scene of the early '60s, and with her sixth album, 1966's In My Life, she made a clear break from interpreting the favorites of the singer/songwriter community into a broader and more eclectic style. While In My Life includes songs by Bob Dylan, Richard Fariña, and (gulp) Donovan, it also finds Collins embracing the work of Jacques Brel and Kurt Weill, as well as the Beatles and Leonard Cohen (whose "Suzanne" and "Dress Rehearsal Rag" sound more at home with the Europeans than the New Yorkers). Joshua Rifkin's arrangements abandon folky purity, not an uncommon event in the post-Highway 61 Revisited musical economy, but rather than embracing rock & roll in one of its many forms, here Rifkin's backdrops betray a significantly artier approach, with the opening Dylan cover accompanied by flutes and Fariña's "Hard Lovin' Loser" backed with a harpsichord, neither of which is especially effective. Far more successful are the European theatrical tunes, especially "Marat/Sade," in which Collins delivers a superbly controlled, but passionate, performance, and a splendidly spare rendition of "Suzanne" that ranks with the finest interpretations of that oft-covered tune. Collins also sounds splendid on Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" and even finds something special in Donovan's "Sunny Goodge Street." Judy Collins was already an accomplished interpretive singer before recording this album, but In My Life found her widening her horizons and revealing an even greater gift than one might have imagined; for the most part, it's a superb album and still one of her best.

(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY MARK DEMING, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Not only did Judy Collins revolutionize the folk movement of the early 60's, she also provided background music and voice to some of the most important civil rights events of the period. Plus, she gave exposure to many up-and-coming artists who would later become legends in their own right. There would have been no Leonard Cohen, for example, if Judy Collins hadn’t recorded his "Suzanne" almost a year before Lenny did. And we doubt that Elektra would ever give Fred Neil, Tim Buckley or David Ackles a chance had it not been for Judy. Finally, there's this gorgeous voice which will melt you away in no time at all. On account of all this, we forgive Judy for singing to Bill and Hillary at the White House (sigh…nobody's perfect…). This, her 1966 album, is generally thought to be her finest, although we put it in the second place, right behind her 1968 "Who knows where the time goes"
