GUEST,Peter L. Neff Origins: Anathea (from Judy Collins) (83* d) RE: Lyr Req: Anathea (from Judy Collins) 04 Jun 21


I interviewed Ethan Kenning (George Edwards-The Village Singers/H.P. Lovecraft) on May 26, 2021. Here is an excerpt that maybe helpful. "There was this woman out there years ago called Lydia Wood, and when I mention that name to people, nobody’s ever heard of her. She wrote one song that was recorded by Judy Collins, it was called “Anathea." Lydia Wood was a phenomenal talent. David Crosby used to back her up on twelve-string guitar. She was around the Chicago scene and later on for a very brief time in the New York scene. When I mention her name, no one knows who she is. In my opinion, she was one of the best woman writers, performers, guitar players. She played kick-ass guitar. She had a Martin D-28, played her butt off, and had the greatest smoky voice you ever heard in your life. Nobody ever heard of her. It’s something how these people fall through the cracks."
