Credit: Anna WebberNew details have been unveiled about Stephen Stills‘ upcoming duets album with his former girlfriend, folk legend Judy Collins, the inspiration behind the Crosby, Stills & Nash classic “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.” The record will be titled Stills & Collins, and will be released on September 22.
The album will feature new versions of songs tied into the longtime friends’ shared history, as well as select cover tunes and one brand-new tune penned by Collins called “River of Gold.”
Stills & Collins features a new rendition of late British folk-rocker Sandy Denny‘s “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,” which was the first tune Stephen ever recorded with Judy, for her 1968 album of the same name.
The album also includes new versions of “Judy” and “So Begins the Task,” a pair of Stills tunes that date back to a 1968 collection of demos released in 2007 under the title Just Roll Tape. In addition, the duo recorded an updated take on “Houses,” a 1975 tune that Collins wrote about her relationship with Stills.
Among the covers on Stills & Collins are renditions of Bob Dylan‘s “Girl from the North Country,” Leonard Cohen‘s “Everybody Knows” and The Traveling Wilburys‘ “Handle with Care.” The album also features a version of the Stills-penned Buffalo Springfield song “Questions.”
