Judee Sill: Spirited Away
Mick Houghton, Uncut, April 2005
UNTIL RECENTLY, Judee Sill and her two Asylum albums were all but forgotten. Her story is so tragic as to be nearly unbelievable, the antithesis of the Californian dream, even though she recorded for California's dream label.

Finally, it helps tell Sill's complete story, both through the eyes of those who knew her and through her own stunning music.
