Ten Unsung Songwriters in no particular order #2 Judee Sill

Sounds like: Female Symphonies To God. Joni Mitchell meets Brian Wilson in Catholic church, perhaps.
For More, Get this:  There's three albums (one posthumous) - but the arrangements and productions on the first two are a very acquired taste.  Perhaps the best place to start, i think, is the BBC Recordings/Live In Concert CD, which has Sill playing songs from both her albums,accompanying herself on piano and guitar.

JESUS WAS A CROSSMAKER
(no video unfortunately, just a live recording of the song)



THE KISS
(Live from the Old Grey Whistle Test)
 

THE LAMB RAN AWAY WITH THE CROWN
(Rare live footage from 1973)
