A work by a solitary singer-songwriter that intertwines mystery and prayer.
The debut album from Los Angeles-born Judee Sill fuses baroque pop and folk, delicately depicting a religious and mythological worldview centered around "Jesus Was a Cross Maker."
Judee Sill's voice rises like a prayer amid the tranquil sounds of piano and acoustic guitar. The soft melody of "Crayon Angels" and the solemn development of "Jesus Was a Cross Maker" intertwine baroque architectural beauty and introspective emotion. While addressing religious themes, her music never comes across as preachy, resonating as a personal confession of the soul, demonstrating her unique style. The soundscape, which combines folk lyricism with classical sophistication, remains fresh to this day, and this album captures the purest moment of 1970s American folk.
