Just one of those fleeting moments in time when someone as fragile as this makes something quite remarkable. If you can get hold of it try and find the 1972 article about her in Rolling Stone.As her peers say:
‘I knew very little about Judee,’ reflects Graham Nash, of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who produced her debut single ‘Jesus Was a Crossmaker’. ‘But I do know that she was a very bright, talented, funny lady. She kept to herself a great deal. It was so sad to hear of her death. I personally had no idea she was taking drugs on that scale.’
For JD Souther, who broke Sill’s heart and inspired her song ‘Jesus Was a Crossmaker’, there was nobody more important in his musical career, which included co-writing some of the Eagles’ biggest hits.
‘She was light years ahead of most of us,’ he says. ‘I thought Jackson Browne was the furthest along at having learnt songwriting, but then I met Judee and thought, “Fuck, man, she’s school for all of us”.’

sblake,
I am always saddened by these young deaths. September was the 4oth anniversary of Hendrix’s death and October was the same anniversary for Janis Joplin’s. The list could go on and on. All of that potential lost.
She sounds fragile when she sings. There’s a poignancy in her voice.

After “Heartfood” Judee disappeared. The mythical third album, “Tulips from Amsterdam” was as much a rumor as the stories of the balance of her life and the causes of her passing.
There was little more than an hour’s worth of music from two spectacular albums which are best enjoyed on the “hand-made” reissues from Rhino

My Dear Hedley,
I have the reissues; I missed the debut of her first album and didn’t find her until much later, after she had died. I know they issued albums afterwards but most songs were demos not meant for issue.

Kat, I am guessing that you are talking about “Dreams come True”. This mish mash was essentially demos that had been available for free on the internet and were later culled for release. Hardly reflective of Judee and her work
you might enjoy Bob Claster’s website which for years has offered Judee’s music

My Dear Hedley,
That’s exactly what I was talking about as I vaguely remembered finding that web site at some point.
Thanks for helping me find it again.
