Judee Sill is the eponymous debut album by the American singer-songwriter and musician.
It was the first album released on David Geffen's Asylum label in 1971. Backing musicians include John Beck and Jims Pons from The Leaves. While the majority of the album was produced by Henry Lewy, Graham Nash handled the duties for the single "Jesus Was a Crossmaker." Sill released one more album during her lifetime, Heart Food, in 1973, before her death in 1979. Demos for an unreleased third album were finally released in 2005, more than three decades after they were originally recorded.
