I’ve been listening to “There’s a Rugged Road” by lost folk hero Judee Sill for three days straight. It’s weird, it’s sad, it’s kind of like a hymn? Or maybe a fugue. Or Bach. Anyway, Sill had a tragic, eventful life and left behind her two complete albums released by her once-friend David Geffen (she burned that bridge,), and another round of rarities that were released many decades after her death and produced by the one and only Jim O’Rourke. This is a teaser, because I don’t actually have Heart Food in physical copy — yet. But I wanted to let you know, my sweet listeners, where my head space is in this, the first week of the new year.
