Heart Food

Untitled

Heart Food is the second album released by Californian singer/songwriter and musician Judee Sill. It was released on David Geffen's Asylum label in 1973 to acclaim but minimal sales. Sill wrote, arranged, and produced the album, with influences from Bach and Ray Charles. Songs like "The Kiss" reflect her fascination with hymnal, Christian imagery, while others, notably "Soldier of the Heart," feature much fuller arrangements. The album is generally considered Sill's finest achievement, and in 2004 was rescued from obscurity with an expanded reissue from Rhino Records, featuring new liner notes and extra demos and unreleased tracks. Since 2004, Sill's reputation has continued to grow, but this was her final album to be released during her lifetime.
