Judy Collins - Dreamers
Nearly half a century after topping the charts with her Vietnam-era cover of “Amazing Grace,” Judy Collins returns with another a cappella standout. She taps into a socially-conscious vein once again, turning “Dreamers” into a protest song for all those seeking asylum within America’s borders. The track’s central character is Maria, a Jalisco native and U.S. immigrant whose daughter faces deportation. The story is moving and all too familiar, but Collins’ performance is the real show-stopper here, thanks to a spotless voice that remains untouched by her 80 years.
