Shirley Collins Celebrates 90th Birthday With “Hares On The Mountain (Fast Version)”

The English folksinger Shirley Collins made stirring, austere music in the ’60s and ’70s alongside her late sister Dolly. In 1978, the Collins sisters released their final album For As Many As Will. After that, Shirley left music behind, working regular jobs and raising her kids, until she returned with 2016’s Lodestar, her first album in 38 years. She’s been active ever since. On Saturday, Collins celebrated her 90th birthday, an amazing milestone. Naturally, she’s celebrating by releasing one of those sped-up remixes that the kids on TikTok like so much.
