Judy Collins is one of our most beloved singers, yet she's never tried to shield her personal struggles from her adoring fans.
She has openly fought depression, struggled with eating disorders and alcoholism and her son committed suicide.
Despite a lifetime of hardships, she still is moving forward and finding the positive in life.
Now in her 70s, she's still living an active, vibrant life and she's excited about two new projects -- her new album "Bohemian" and her new book, "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: My Life in Music."
Judy says she hopes to use her own trials and tribulations to help others going through similar issues. And she keeps moving forward.
Judy talks about her new songs, including one she recently wrote for her late mother, and how she's managed to always remain hopeful about life -- no matter how hard it may seem at times.
Plus, find out which unusual group of entertainers she credits with keeping the storytelling traditions of folk singers ali

Posted 12:52pm December 15th, 2011Hey, once again guys, this was an incredible interview with Judy! Growing up in Denver, I was about 10 or so years younger than Judy, but she performed at a couple of coffee houses down the street from my high school in downtown Denver, and I would sneak in after school to see her and Bob Lind perform, needless to say, I was mesmerized! I'm friends with Roger and Camilla McGuinn, whom you have featured many times, and Roger produced Judy's early album that contained "Turn, Turn, Turn" on it, that in turn helped the Byrds some years later. Steven Stills, I believe to this day might still be secretly in love with Judy, but what guy isn't? She is a sweetheart, so talented with the voice of an angel and eyes to die for!
