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.
