When I heard the Hollies version I was kind of stunned because they used "Jesus" in the title and the osng was real good. Wha? Religion in rock????? Sill ..maybe the founder of Christian rock?????....
Likely.......Sill was the first--- I generally can't stand Christian ROCK!! Sill's music was based more in the gospel/spiritual music roots...not at all like that "gawd-awful" born-again Christian "rock"....I find the "handle" for that music to be offensive to my rock sensibilities!!! 
In the liner notes for the Pet Sounds DCC reissue, Brian writes that he was told "God Only Knows" was the first time God was ever mentioned in a hit rock tune.

LK- What songs are available on CD from the OGWT?
.
There are 18 tracks including an interview...there are short intros and audience
rap before each track that give great warmth & insight into Judee, beyond her drug image.
I'll have to read more liner notes to see which of these are from OGWT appearance(s).
The great BBC audio/vid makes me wish that Nick Drake had appeared on the OGWT!!
1 Jesus Was A Cross Maker
2 Lady O
3 The Lamb Ran A way With The Crown
4 Enchanted Sky Machine
5 The Kiss
6 Down Where The Valleys Are Low
7 There's a Rugged Road
8 The Phoenix
9 The Donor
10 Soldier of The Heart
11 Interview (4+ min)
12 Enchanted Sky Machine
13 Down Where The Valleys Are Low
15 The Phoenix
16 Jesus Was A Cross Maker
17 The Kiss
18 Down Where The Valleys Are Low
The repeat performances of some tracks are well worth while and Judee shows that
she never gave a half-hearted performance. Always brilliant, showing off her vocal
and instrumental talents to perfection.
The audio is excellent...BBC did a great job there!

Surely Judee Sill didn't do 18 songs on the OGWT? That was a programme that featured several different artists every week, they only usually did two or three songs on each show. I'm a bit confused here. |

18 tracks from OGWT?!
Of course not.....go way back up the line...you'll see "Live From the BBC" or something like that...she did 3 or four songs on OGWT, but BBC has only released The Kiss video clip. I just don't know which songs are from the OGWT. The credits will likely reveal which show each track is from. I just got it.

LK- I think the real influence on her piano playing was her ex-husband, Bob Harris. He reportedly sounded like Dr. John.
Listen to her five minute intro to "Enchanted Sky Machines" on the live version on "Abracadabra". That didn't come from no "reform school choir".
She was told to hush up the Harris connection because of his reputation as a junkie.
While Joni definitely dug JS (she attended the Heart Food sessions!),Barney Hoskyns said in his recent book "Hotel California" that she supposedly told Geffen that she didn't want any other women recording for Asylum, and tried to get JS off the label.
Art Johnson, the guitarist on "Dreams Come True" was there when JS first signed with Geffen, and Joni was in the waiting room, and they had their first "cautious" conversation.
It would be interesting to ask Joni and Geffen about JS. |

Right, eerie....Harris was a strong support and influence. But the gospel tinged keyboard style is pretty evident one some,,,especially her last recordings. A great artist takes everything from everyone and makes it their own if they aren;t a hakc--which Judy wasn't!
Look at Dylan. He soaked up all those great folk blues influences in a matter of months after arriving in NYC, and then became a unique talent all his own.
Artists becomes their best ,by learning from the best.
