chose one....

Oh, that's a beautiful phrase. But honestly, I think many of the overlooked but great singers are somewhat like that. Their songs never really turn to be popular, they sometimes just end up influencing some other bands, which may become popular if they appeal to a wider audience, but generally do not. It's hard to be great if you want to appeal to most people.

You can really hear the tweaker/coke voice when she introduces this song--she had the real Christain struggle between sacred and profane.

She doesn't sound so rough to me, maybe because I am not from the U.S perhaps, so I don't get the cultural accent stuff, or maybe because I have never done any coke ( what is a tweaker voice anyway, I am intrigued?) She speaks fast; she sounds very intelligent to me more than anything else.

@@SteveCournane I see your point--probably yes, her intelligence and probably yes, a bit of upper combined. A tweaker is a person who does speed, meth. Often talks very fast, somewhat inarticulately, though she is far from inarticulate here. But she was young! To someone from the US her speaking voice is kind of hick and street. Her singing voice is touched by God.

I don’t hear a rough voice at all. A voice that knows herself and knows her future which breaks my heart.. Judee was a beautiful but a lost soul. Her lovely came through her music but to hear her voice, my first time, doesn’t ring any kind of roughness at all.

@@kirstinpurcell6619 To me, her speaking voice is a surprise because it's so deep, compared to where her singing voice is pitched. She sounds worldly when she talks, and a bit churchy when she sings. Such an interesting contrast!

Brian Grant Actually no. Its about Warrens drug dealer who got killed. Warren even went to his funeral to as he put it, pay his bills. Check out warrens biography. there are outtakes from his diary that mentions things like that.

Roy Stewart agreed!!

Who knows what Joni thinks given her determined drive to come back to her performing self after a long and well-covered career balancing with creative tension her materialist and spiritual sides (and nature's!). Tragically in my view, Judee Sill despite a storied sense of humor and especially of the absurd from her compositions, stage remarks about her songs and writings of her own kind of interior Christian Warrior battlefield died young. As though the world needed another martyr! See the theologians or the snake oil sales staff. I respect both Joni's willingness to show us her banal bourgeois desires, share the pain of giving up a baby daughter because she didn't have the money to raise her alone as well as Judee's hand to soul combat with her own inner demons of desire, yet to be attained. Also of interest to others who might find the life and works of a bard forgotten by Market Forces and our Cults of Personality, yet whose interior struggles of a sort of Christian Mystical Warrior of her own inner response to life on our Creator's food chain should know about the film set to open after 9 years of planning and pre-production by two former school friends and now film co-directors up here in PoTown, Ore: From the current alterna-Arts online site: Oregon Arts Watch by non-salaried freelance journalist Brian Libby 11-17-2022: www.orartswatch.org/reviving-the-tale-of-a-musical-lost-angel/ Reviving the tale of a musical ‘Lost Angel’ Portland documentary filmmaker Brian Lindstrom ("Alien Boy," "Finding Normal") and co-director Andy Brown discuss their new film about the life and sorrows of '70s singer Judee Sill.
