Judee Sill Essentials

Judee Sill Essentials

Through reissues, posthumous releases, and covers by acolytes like Warren Zevon and Fleet Foxes, recognition for Judee Sill’s mystic and elegiac songwriting has snowballed in the decades since her tragic passing in 1979 at the age of 35. The Laurel Canyon singer and multi-instrumentalist released just two studio albums during her lifetime, but these, plus her demos and live recordings, showcase her consistent and fully formed compositional voice as well as her adventurousness: Compare the cathartic pop prowess of her enduring standard “Jesus Was a Cross Maker” with the Bach-inspired trappings of “The Kiss” and the apocalyptic country balladry of “There’s a Rugged Road.”
