Subject: Lesser known folk artists: Judee Sill
I've just discovered brilliant, misunderstood, talented, tortured Judee Sill.. was on a bbc4 programme of old grey whistle test sessions from that era, carole king, crosby stills nash, joni mitchell, eagles, byrds etc.. what a fantastic talent Judee had, awesome. Never made it famous, so got depressed and died of an overdose.

Couldn't help but ponder that she didn't make it because quite frankly she was very plain not at all pretty I wonder if that was part of it, you know how the record industry was and still is.

Just ordered 2 of her albums anyway
