13. Judee SillHeart Food

Judee is a new fixation. My friend Knut tried to turn me onto her a while back but all I could hear was a weak and sapless voice in my head saying, "You don’t like this". I think Alice Coltrane smited that voice with a burning spear of Hare Ram Jah and thus illuminated the path to this goldmine of gorgeosity. If Karen Carpenter swallowed the red letter edition Bible, a few volumes of William Blake, J.S. Bach’s powdered wig and an obscene amount of microdots you might arrive at something close to a dream of this dreamy record. The way she orchestrates music has made a deep impression on me over a relatively short period of time. One particular evening it was playing I checked in on my daughter, I’d never seen her sleep so peacefully, curls abundant and smiling softly. So thanks for that Judee. Every cloud has a Sillver lining.
