I wouldn't have thought it was possible - or desirable,' she said.

The album and ongoing concert tour have been a discovery process, she noted, for both of them.Ĭollins guffawed when asked how she would have reacted if, 50 years ago, anyone had told her she and Stills would make an album together and go on tour in 2017. That's the only (approach) that worked,' said Collins, speaking recently by phone from 'a car driving somewhere, I'm not sure where!' 'The criterion for picking songs was that we love them. The new album mixes songs by Stills and Collins with classics by other artists, including Bob Dylan's 'Girl From The North Country,' the Traveling Wilburys' 'Handle with Care' and Leonard Cohen's remarkably wistful 'Everybody Knows.'Īlso featured are 'Houses,' the 1975 song Collins wrote for Stills, 'Questions,' which Stills wrote for Buffalo Springfield's 1968 swan song, 'Last Time Around,' and the shimmering 'River of Gold,' which Collins wrote specifically for 'Everybody Knows.' A new version appears on their upcoming 'Everybody Knows,' which will be jointly released by Cleopatra Records and Collins' own Wildflower label, which she launched in 1994. The first song the two recorded together, the Sandy Denny-penned 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes,' was the title track for Collins' 1968 album of the same name. While she and Stills rarely worked together until now, they did collaborate in 1968, not long after meeting and becoming a couple.
