	Judee Sill (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judee Sill is the eponymous debut album by the Californian singer-songwriter and musician.
		Sill was wrongly lumped in with the legion of West Coast songwriters of the early '70s, and her music today stands as some of the most original to come from the era.
		Sill released one more album during her lifetime, Heart Food, in 1973, before her death in 1979.

		Sill died in 1979 at the age of 35 of a drug overdose, her work has been shrouded in mystery and apocrypha.
		Sill re-recorded the two minor hits she wrote for the Turtles and the Hollies, "Lady-O," and "Jesus Was a Cross Maker," respectively.
		Judee Sill [Expanded] is a powerful potion of spiritual and erotic longing, an album that dares to challenge heaven on its own terms, and reveals its dark heart bleeding in the darkness, and longing for light wherever it can be found.

		Judee Sill [+]'s first Asylum album -- in fact, the first album recorded for the label in 1971 -- is, like its companion, 1973's Heart Food [+], an album of mythic proportions.
		Sill's sound is the epitome of Laurel Canyon's easy, groove conscious folk rock, but it would be a horrendous mistake to leave it there.
		Sill re-recorded the two minor hits she wrote for the Turtles [+] and the Hollies [+], "Lady-O," and "Jesus Was a Cross Maker," respectively.

		The daughter of old Hollywood money, Sill's father died when she was just a child, and her brother died in a car crash soon after, leading to a bleak outlook on life that she expressed in an arty, disaffected attitude.
		In the late '60s Sill was busted for heroin possession and served three months in prison, during which time she was able to kick her habit; when she returned to the world at large, she focused solely on making music.
		Taken by Sill's abilities as a writer and performer, {Geffen} immediately signed her to Asylum; her self-titled debut was also the first official release for the new label.

	Judee Sill - Dreams Come True (hi — i love you right heartily here — new songs) - Stylus Magazine
		Sill was very much of her time (and I refuse to use the “G” word, which serves only to incite reverence but describes very little of the music or the musician themselves).
		Based on the testaments of her friends, lovers and peers, Sill was the most colorful sort of Aquarian casualty, a fl-powder flash of un-tempered, aggressive energy, frightening multi-tentacled talent and sexuality of the sort you had to either oppose or allow to enwrap you completely.
		Sill’s three released full-length records are remarkable for their assured evenness, their ability to truly and successfully assimilate Bach studies into the languid, swinging faux-country pastoralisms of her scene.

	Metroactive Music \| Judee Sill
		On that remarkable debut album, Sill displayed a prodigious talent, her supple voice frequently multitracked into a soft chorale, while her lyrics melded mystical Judeo-Christian imagery and postpsychedelic flights of fancy to elliptical melodies in a fresh and engaging way.
		Sill's florid piano leads the tempo and meter changes of the sprightly opening track, That's the Spirit, and with its fade of choral vocal choruses, the tone is set.
		Sill at one point cited Bach and Pythagoras as her primary inspirations; her interest in Rosicrucian theology also colored some of her writing.

	Hurtmore! // Reviews: Judee Sill
		Judee Sill was a heartfelt singer-songwriter who met with little commercial success during her lifetime.
		Sill’s second and final album vanished without even the modest commercial success of her debut, but it arguably trumps its predecessor.
		Elsewhere, Sill makes fine use of her orchestration on “The Kiss” (are you sensing a pattern to her song titles yet?), and her backup singers on the church organ-driven “Down Where the Valleys Are Low”.

	The Observer \| OMM \| The lost child
		When Rhino Records last year reissued the Asylum albums Judee Sill (1972) and Heart Food (1973) as part of its limited-edition Handmade series, the rediscovery of Sill's talent prompted a few people to ask why she was never elevated to the heights her label-mates enjoyed.
		A masterpiece, Judee Sill had the misfortune to be followed swiftly on the Asylum release schedule by the debut albums of Jackson Browne and the Eagles.
		On 23 November 1979, Judee Sill was found dead at her house in the unglamorous North Hollywood area where she'd spent most of her life.

	Judee Sill
		Sill scored moderate hits with "Lady-O" (originally written for The Turtles) and "Jesus Was A Cross Maker" and released two albums -- 1971's Judee Sill and 1973's Heart Food -- before suffering chronic pain and eventually dying of a drug overdose at age 35.
		Rich with cosmic imagery and ambiguously spiritual lyrics, the songs on Judee Sill often blur the line between the earthly and the divine.

	JUDEE SILL - JUDEE SILL (1ST) - Musicdirect
		Judee Sill's debut album (as well as the debut of the Asylum label) heralded a major new talent in the airy, contemporary folk world of the early '70s.
		Judee Sill featured all original compositions, many of which relied on Sill's own brand of cosmological Christian imagery to make their point.
		By turns spare and lavishly orchestrated, there is still a cohesive feel to all of the album; her lyrics are exceptionally poetic and her voice is smooth enough to give every song a shimmery feel.

		XTC's "Apple Venus Volume 1" and "Wasp Star" both owe a huge debt to Sill's mixture of strings, wistful melodies and exotic use of Christian and pagan imagery (XTC's Andy Partridge gives her a special thank you in his notes for the latter album).
		Sill's first album definitely belongs in the essential category (and it's also available from Rhino Handmade with bonus demos and live tracks) despite the over lush production that hampers some of the material.
		Sill would have found humor and irony in her sudden minor fame when Zevon's song earned airplay.

		It made her one of the greatest and most purely honest of the huge crop of singer-songwriters that filled the bins in the music stores in that era - and it has endowed her art with an edge that makes it as relevant today as when the album was first released, back in 1973.
		I knew nothing of Judee Sill until the recent reissue campaign of her two Asylum albums by Rhino Handmade (along with the new set from the never-completed third album, "Dreams Come True" by the Water label), and all the praise is well deserved.

		Graham Nash has said that he learned as early as 1974 that Sill had died of an overdose, a claim that would later prove to be incorrect, but considering how closely the two had worked only a few years earlier it does illustrate just how completely Sill had dropped out by this time.
		She never managed a second return from the abyss and Judee Sill, age 35, died of a drug overdose in November of 1979.

	Judee Sill Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But Judee Sill was hardly an innocent Californian flower-child.
		Sill had effectively sabotaged her career by refusing to play any more support slots.
		Alternative sources reckon that Sill either dragged herself to the end of the seventies as a drug addict, overdosed on heroin in Mexico during spring 1973, or in California that November, or maybe overloaded on coke in the early Eighties.

	* Dusted Reviews - Judee Sill *
		Sill had been resurrected via a MOJO article and a stunning set of songs shelved before her suicide/overdose in 1979 and subsequently finished up in the studio by Jim O'Rourke some three decades on and released with the triptych title of Dreams Come True: hi - i love you right heartily here - new songs.
		Luckily, the two studio albums that Judee Sill completed in her short lifetime have returned to us, no longer as Japanese imports or long-gone Internet only editions, and the music is more than enough explanation, more than any explanation can be.
		Judee Sill’s self-titled debut still floors me some thousand listens in; almost as often as it saves me, it slays me. Foolish as it may sound, her words serve as affirmation, charging the air whenever it plays.

	Chalkhills: "Spirited Away", Uncut, April 2005
		Judee Sill is a million light years away from all those other denim-clad singer-songwriters — her music leaves the rest of that quasi-country crowd in the dirt.
		Sill's lyrics, displaying a deep philosophical core that reflected her fascination with alchemy, theosophy and obscure literature, failed to engage people.
		Sill aimed to make the listener “open up his heart”, and you might want to check your pulse if you are not moved by her breathtaking recordings.

		I think it's great that although Judee released only two albums she can still be regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time and I am excited about the new CD coming out soon.
		Judee sounds upbeat and these songs are some of her happiest and most "full-sounding," although they feel loose and spontaneous.
		Judee was a genius and both of her albums plus Dreams Come True are masterpieces.

		Pretty much every article on her will mention that she is Andy Partridge from XTC's favorite artist of all time and that she was a troubled junkie/lesbian/prostitute who died under hugely mysterious circumstances - a really weird story worth checking out even if you don't care for her music.

	'Dreams Come True' for Sill after all these years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sill languished in obscurity until late last year, when her collected works suddenly flooded the marketplace.
		The child of alcoholic parents (and later the stepdaughter of animator Kenneth Muse), she was a teenage prostitute and served jail time for robbing gas stations and forging checks.
		But Sill also was a uniquely gifted musician steeped in Bach and gospel, and a quintessential Southern California seeker whose spirituality encompassed Christianity (she was baptized in Pat Boone's swimming pool) and such esoteric disciplines as Theosophy and Rosicrucianism.

		She was the first artist signed to David Geffen’s Asylum label, which became known as the vanguard of the early-’70s West Coast singer-songwriter movement that included Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, and, tangentially, the Eagles.
		Unlike that bunch, though, Sill did not make a large impression on the public, and though her two albums — 1971’s Judee Sill and 1973’s Heart Food — are treasured by the few who heard them, they’ve remained largely unknown.
		Also included is a beautifully prepared 68-page booklet of Sill’s lyrics and the recollections of those who were there.

		Instead of using an outside arranger for the strings (as she did on her previous album), Sill did all of the work herself.
		Her lack of formal training and the immense amount of orchestral overdubs certainly would have made such an outing a hardship for anyone.
