Jap-imp. 1973 Album
Description:
The second album Judee Sill made, proved to be her last. Instead of using an outside arranger for the strings for her album Heart Food, Sill did all of the work herself.
Sill's music was complex, elegantly crafted and yet completely devoid of pretension or overwrought melodrama. Unfairly lumped in with other female, proto-adult contemporary songwriters like Joni Mitchell or Carole King, Sill was much closer in spirit to Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, or one her idols, J.S. Bach. She had a gift for making very complicated things sound simple, beautiful. - JAP-IMP. 1973 ALBUM
