This one sounds more promising, 8 minutes though…

I remember this one.

It's pretty overwrought if memory serves...

Over 9 minutes in truth.

It's over recorded, the vocals are distorting in a bad way.

That sounded like a stand out track. On a lesser Art Garfunkel album.

I have no idea if Jig was on the orginal album, dance

It has finally gone away.

What a boring woman and what a boring record. Why do people even bother making albums like that?

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

This is the best track so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Dec 31, 2020 7:37 pm

I will give it 1 star.

Not a Gr8 album, but the songs were just destroyed by the ghastly over production, you could just imagine a timid mousey little Judee Sill playing her little songs then a fat, balding producer in a lounge suit, and cigar telling her that it'll be great when he's finished the songs, and for her to keep out of the studio while he competes the album for her.

Except she produced and arranged it.

And the basic songs were only ok to start off with if I'm being honest. 2 little stars for me.

Well, that wasn't great.

I know that when I downloaded her stuff it was because of her belated reputation (see also: Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, These Trails etc), but it's just served to remind me why I've not revisited any of her stuff - nor put her stuff on any 'mix-tape' CDs for friends.

It's not bad per se, but the restless compositions, inappropriately over-egged production, unsubtle lyrical religiosity and her faintly whining accent just go to demonstrate why she wasn't the success she and others hoped she'd be.

Considering her demise at such a young age - sad, but true. sad yes
