Leonard Cohen did it, EmmyLou did it... Dar did it... but do we know
what she recorded for this cd....

she also was responsible for kick-starting the career of another
legendary Canadian singer/songwriter, Leonard Cohen. Already a famed
poet and novelist, Cohen approached Collins with songs he didn't think
were recordable.

She thought otherwise and included Cohen's "Suzanne" on her 1966 album
"In My Life" and several more Cohen originals on "Wildflowers," which
was met with great acclaim when it came out the following year.
Cohen's influence on Collins was profound. Before meeting him she had
never tried to write her own songs.

"I was the first one to record his songs and tell him to get on
stage," she said. "He's a hero of mine."

Cohen, who made his first public appearance in more than a decade
earlier this year, has recorded a version of the Collins original
"Since You've Asked" for an upcoming tribute album, Collins said. Fans
can also look forward to hearing Chrissy Hynde, Emmylou Harris, Rufus
Wainwright, Allen Toussaint and Dar Williams to appear on the album,
which will be issued by Collins' independent record label Wildflowers.
She's hoping to have it out by May.

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you're getting a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
