Judee Sill (180g Vinyl)

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.

The album employed the production skills of ex-Turtle, ex-Leaves Jim Pons and Graham Nash (on the album's sole single, "Jesus Was s Crossmaker").
Judee Sill featured all original compositions, many of which relied on Sill's unique cosmological imagery to make their point.
By turns spare and lavishly orchestrated, there is a cohesive feel to the album; her lyrics are exceptionally poetic and her smooth voice gives every song a shimmery feel.

The essence of the music is folk, the execution pop: the songs feel like a comfort blanket, a statement of hope from a troubled soul.
New detailed liner notes by Michael Crumsho.
