Who Knows Where The Time Goes features folk legend Judy Collins interpreting songs from some of the best known emerging songwriters of the era. (US:29)

“This is a true folk-rock masterpiece which may very well have set the standard and was the template for the modern folk-rock wave that took hold of the music scene at the dawning of the 1970s. Filled with masterly covers of songs by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Fairport Convention, The Incredible String Band and Ian Tyson, Who Knows Where The Time Goes has a country-rock edge to it and a smattering of her classical inclinations mixed into its folkiness.”

“This LP is a must for any decent music collection. Her voice is clear and beautiful; the arrangements are inspired; and, besides Sandy Denny herself, only Judy can do justice to the awesome title track. Buy this for a youngster in your life. They need it. As do we all. This is what I call music.”

“This effort is easily the best album in Judy Collins' long and illustrious career. From the opening phrases of Hello Hooray to the final chords of Pretty Polly, this brilliant effort never stops delighting and amazing the listener with its unique combination of brilliant songwriting and selection, vocal performances, musical scoring and accompaniment. Simply put, this is an absolutely matchless piece of music history you should be able to experience and enjoy again and again.”

“This is Judy Collins at her best. The backing musicians are superb and her voice never sounded better. The title cut is one of the best songs to come out of the late 60s, and she does it beautifully. The track that grabs me the most though is Pretty Polly, though there's not one lacklustre track to be found here. It all shines.”

“Judy Collins always had had a crystal clear voice, and a good range, but on this album it was at its most powerful. The material is from the best-ever writers in this genre. The result is about the tightest folk-style rock album there ever was, with a fine range of sentimental and yet gripping songs. Not only does Judy choose some very good contemporary songs for this album, she also writes and performs her own My Father, which is terrific.”
