 Crayon Angel: A Tribute to the Music of Judee Sill features new recordings by Beth Orton, Bill Callahan, Ron Sexsmith, Final Fantasy, Nicolai Dunger, Marisa Nadler & Black Hole Infinity, Colossal Yes (with members of Six Organs of Admittance and Comets on Fire), Meg Baird, Frida Hyvönen, and Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles.
Judee Sill was the first artist signed to David Geffen’s Asylum Records and released two cherished cult LPs, 1971’s Judee Sill and 1973’s Heart Food, before vanishing from the music scene and eventually dying of a drug overdose in North Hollywood, California, in 1979. Though forgotten for years, her music has enjoyed a period of rediscovery since her two studio albums were reissued on CD in 2005. In addition to cover versions of songs from Sill’s modest recorded output, Crayon Angel also features two new Sill-penned songs, for which sheet music, but no known original recordings, survive. Beth Orton brings to life the complex and lovely “Reach for the Sky,” while Bill Callahan records the epic slow-burn number “For a Rainbow,” a co-write with Sill’s onetime boyfriend Lal Baum (great-grandson of Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum).
