Everybody Knows (Stills & Collins album)

Everybody Knows is an album by Stephen Stills and Judy Collins, credited to "Stills & Collins". It marks the first collaboration between the former lovers and longtime friends. It was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on PledgeMusic.

Background
From 1968 to 1969, Stills and Collins were romantically involved. Stills wrote several songs about Judy, most notably "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Judy". But despite Stills playing on several of Collins' recordings, they never recorded as a duo or performed on stage together. Stills said that he and Collins "talked over the years and muddled through conversations about if we did make a record together", ultimately releasing Everybody Knows and going on tour.

Release
Everybody Knows was released on September 22, 2017, and entered and peaked on the "Billboard 200" chart at number 195. Coincidentally, two of the five songs here not written by Stills or Collins had also appeared on A Letter Home by Neil Young released over three years earlier.
