Late night post cause why not.
Have you guys listened to Judee Sill before?
I'd love to hear your critique, whether ya like her or not.
I think she's amazing. Her voice might not be for everyone, but she composes fantastic pieces. She's got major chops with the guitar and piano. My favorite album of hers would be the live one from BBC. It really showcases herself as a solid musician, with or without a backing orchestra / studio recording.
S/T is one of my favorite albums. It hits the sweet spot of beautiful melodies, chamber folk arrangements, introspective lyrics, and religious overtones that I've been looking for. I also particularly like how it ends with a big finale which you don't particularly get outside of classical or jazz.
Heart Food is great too but its kinda overshadowed by The Doner.

Listening to The Donor is what made me post. The studio version is actually one of the few songs I prefer over her stripped versions. I agree w/ Heart Food being a bit less than her S/T. I don't think the country vibes on There's A Rugged Road do the song well, aside from the chorus where I think it mixes just right.
Down Where the Valleys Are Low is a beautiful song desu
That's a man, right

have you heard laura nyro? she scratches a similar itch for me that judee does, although laura nyro's music is typically more energetic
