To answer stevien - the book is really good. BH has a real love/enthusiasm for his subject and it's a very interesting portrait of Gef$en which doesn't paint him all bad. I got it because I felt I was really missing something of the early 70s LA scene and I feel it's pretty much plugged that gap. I would imagine that if you were more au fait with the era there wouldn't be a whole lot of new info but i'm not sure.

Looking forward to that Marcello!

nine years pass...

Somehow she has escaped me until now, but I think if I could just discover one artist this good from now until I die I'd feel I'd lived a fulfilled life.

"That's The Spirit" comes on my shuffle all the time, I freaking love that song. Judee's performance is A+ of course, but her drummer is great, wonder who that was?

Her diction sounded so cool, I guess it's a California accent?

"He wages war with the devil a pistol by his side/and though he chases him out windows and won't give him a place to hide/he keeps his door open wide"

I think so, based on her speaking voice on the live version of "The Kiss": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0feFedDW_iQ

JUst saw the review of this in the latest uncut so thought it might be why the thread was revived

Milk Of The Tree: An Anthology Of Female Vocal Folk & Singer-Songwriters 1966-1973
contains Judee's Jesus Was a Crossmaker among other 60s folk etc stuff. It's one of the Grapefruit 3 cd compilations so is likely to be pretty well done, the other sets I have on the label are pretty good.

Nice to see her albums have just been reissued again too.
