This is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. I think she's even better, certianly as a melodist, than Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, the two singer-songwriters she might be compared to. 
And for those interested in the early-'70s Laurel Canyon folk-rock scene, her debut was the first-ever release on David Geffen's storied Asylum Records label.Her life story is amazing too: she was a junkie, prostitute, convict, homeless and a Satanist - sometimes all at once - all before she even began her recording career:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judee_SillShe made Janis Joplin look like Doris Day...but she writes and sings like an absolute angel. Do your damn self a favor and check her out. All two of her albums, plus a set of unreleased demos, have been reissued recently. (Your best best is the lavish 2CD Rhino import "Abracadabra: The Asylum Years," which sounds great, has lots of bonus tracks, and I got on Amazon for under $20.)Long live Judee!
