Hard Times for Lovers is the twelfth studio album by American singer and songwriter
Judy Collins, released by
Elektra Records in 1979.
It was Collins's first new recording since Bread and Roses, in 1976; it earned some extra publicity as a result of the back cover of the
Francesco Scavullo-photographed sleeve art, depicting most of a nude Collins as seen from the back. The album was still something of a commercial disappointment, however,[1] peaking at No. 54 on the
Billboard Pop Albums charts.[4]
