Soldier of the Heart: The Judee Sill Story

In this most excellent of documentaries, you get to learn probably more about the subject, JS, that any other human being would likely want to get out there. However, it seems that was the way she would have wanted it. ALSO, we got to learn much about people like JD Souther, her guy at one point, and to see where she interacted with people in the LA music scene, both obscure, and the uber-famous.

I came about this person days before having heard a long play record by the Hollies which contained a song, Jesus was a Cross Maker. The song was very tuneful, but then having looked up the original artist, JS, I found that that version was a masterpiece. Other songs would continue to haunt the soundtrack especially, "The Kiss".

Her voice was recorded much in interviews and from personal diaries- a lot of revelations about touchy subjects, but that was her revealing the 'tortured artist effect', including misfortunes and also, bad choices.

We all are going to wish that she had obtained happiness and peace, but you get reality here.
