Anybody who hasn't heard the wonder that was Judee Sill should really do themselves a favor and buy either 'Judee Sill' or the follow-up, which I think is slightly preferable, 'Heart Food". Both those albums are... well, it's been said many times before, but she is a female Brian Wilson or he is a male Judee Sill. They're just stunningly beautiful. It's J.S. Bach with a 12-string guitar and a ready tune on her lips. She's really stunning, really stunning. Leagues away from all the other kind of corny bootheels-in-the-dust, denim-California-West-Coast-Laural Canyon thing of the early '70s. She just makes them eat cactus, as far as I'm concerned. She's phenomenally good. Highly Recommended.
