Everybody Knows

Judy Collins and Stephen Stills first met in 1967 and quickly fell into a tumultuous love affair that would be immortalised in Stephen’s song “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.”

‘Everybody Knows’ marks the first album the two icons and long-time friends have recorded together. The loving, playful and emotional album finds Judy and Stephen performing refreshed versions of songs that tie their whimsical 50-year history together, plus a brand new song penned by Judy for this album, and a refined take by both artists on classics by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Traveling Wilburys and more.

The album also features duets of classic songs such as Bob Dylan’s “Girl From The North Country.” Judy, known for her early interpretations of Leonard Cohen’s work, selected “Everybody Knows” for this album – her first time recording it. Stephen and Judy sing over a soaring version of Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care.” The song “Questions” was written by Stills and recorded for Buffalo Springfield’s ‘Last Time Around,’ and later revisited on the second section of “Carry On,” from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s ‘Déjà Vu.’ And finally – Judy penned a brand new song for this album, “River Of Gold.”

‘Everybody Knows’ was recorded at West Lake Studios in West Hollywood, and was produced by
Stephen Stills, Judy Collins, Marvin Etzioni and Alan Silverman. It features Russell Walden on piano, Kevin McCormick on bass, and Tony Beard on drums.
