so, there's a new Judee Sill release! Live recordings from BBC sessions, on Water. picked it up last weekend -- great stuff, even better than the live stuff that was on the Rhino CD of the first album.
Her guitar playing really sounds great on "There's a Rugged Road" and ditto her piano on "Enchanted Sky Machines". there's a funny moment in an interview with a BBC dude who asks if she's enjoying playing European venues, and Sill says "What's a venue?" also a sweet part where she says she misses her basset hound.
anyone else pick this up?
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 22 June 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yep, got it in mail the other day. Sounds really good, tho hearing those between song talks sheds as much light on JS as the songs do to me

Voxtrot's new album has a song about Judee Sill called "Real Live Version". I have mixed feelings about it, but ultimately I think I may like that at least someone tried to write a song about her. Any other examples?

Jackie Leven, 'The Silver In Her Crucifix,' from his fine 2007 album 'Oh What A Blow That Phantom Dealt Me.'

Was listening to that BBC session earlier, when she introduces The Kiss as "a new song I finished a few weeks ago", wow... that's intense beautiful. Like Dominique said, you can tell by those talks she wasn't really kidding around.
Apparently there's a Tommy Peltier record called Chariot of Astral Light which supposedly features Sill, anyone heard it?

^^^ otm. Also, Connie Converse doesn't sound much like Sill or Baier, but as she has a similar quality of being both eccentric and uncomfortably emotionally direct.

Just saw a young charming singer who grew up a block away from where I live who did a Judee Sill cover- while wearing a picture of Dolly Parton hanging around her neck, who she also covered- and it was great! Actually did two Judee Sill covers along with two Roches covers. Can’t now recall what the first Judee Sill tune she did was, the second was “Enchanted Sky Machines.”

I had been hoping a Martha Wainwright song would be played but added “or a song by someone related to her” and The Roches sort of count, do u see?

Ali Dineen. Think she has maybe one album and a few other things out now. They seem pretty good but the live experience was really something extra.

Also, there's some kind of folksy scene at a place called Jalopy House in Brooklyn that I never heard of that she seems to be associated with, some other people from that place made the journey last night from their borough to ours.

Jalopy Theater? A lot of their programming seems a little like folk music cosplay to me, like people who exactly replicate the Sun country sound or do 60s western swing or spot on piedmont blues or stuff like that. Curious to check her out though.

Looks like the doc is finally streaming. The trailer makes it look like the kind of talking-head doc with contemporary luminaries talking about how much the subject influenced them, but I'll probably still watch it because it's Judee Sill.
― o. nate, Friday, 12 April 2024 21:17 (one month ago) link
Its really great - there is loads of brilliant archive chat with Judee, some brilliant footage , plenty of scurrilous gossip. they do the annoying animation thing but it is based on her own illustrations so they get away with it. It packs a real emotional wallop. Think its the only time i have ever cried in a cinema.
― cw, Saturday, 13 April 2024 14:14 (one month ago) link
Just finished watching. Animations, "handless" handwriting, relevant talking heads—all the music doc tropes of the last howevermany years—but I found it a pretty rich experience because the details of Judee's story were all kind of a blur in my mind, having read or picked up some things here and there over the years. It was nice to have it all in one place, crafted with love.
― ⓓⓡ (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 14 April 2024 03:51 (four weeks ago) link
I had learned most of the major points of her biography from the 2021 Rolling Stone article, so I knew this would be a tough watch in some ways. This filled in some missing detail, and the bits of footage were great to see, as well as the extensive written quotations (whether just from letters or if there was also a diary, it wasn't clear to me). Definitely worth a watch.
― o. nate, Monday, 22 April 2024 14:53 (three weeks ago) link
i feel like there used to be a personal site belonging to a childhood neighbour of judee sill where she recounted stories from when they hitchhiked together but i'm starting to wonder if i invented it.
― plax (ico), Monday, 22 April 2024 16:06 (three weeks ago) link
I've never heard of that, but it does sound like something she might have done. Certainly not any weirder than her more well-documented youthful hijinx like armed robbery.
― o. nate, Monday, 22 April 2024 16:24 (three weeks ago) link
yah it was v sweet iirc and jarred with the 'troubled' version of her omnipresent in descriptions you read
― plax (ico), Monday, 22 April 2024 16:31 (three weeks ago) link
this doc was v sad, i knew 90% of the fucked up shit but the gaps turned out to be very dark. some boilerplate talking head crap and rote animation to fill in narrative gaps but overall better than vast majority of rock doc imo. they kind of glossed over how such a woman with a hardscrabble upbringing could have such a great musical education to do the notation/arranging that she did but then they mentioned the well-to-do stepdad(?) who was also an abuser maybe(?) who was affluent and provided music lessons. Weirdly I ordered a Heart Food vinyl reissue just before I saw this, sounds so great. They had a good radio interview with her to intersperse within the doc but there were (AI?) fake voiceovers too, right - I get confused about what is "kosher" in docs these days?
― buzza, Friday, 10 May 2024 10:30 (three days ago) link
I don't think it was AI. There was a voice actor reading her diary stuff. Whoever it was did a pretty good job of imitating her voice.
