Heart Food

Heart Food is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Judee Sill, released by Asylum in March 1973[7] to acclaim but minimal sales.

As with her debut Judee Sill, it was reissued by Rhino Records in 2003, featuring new liner notes and extra demos and unreleased tracks.

"The Pearl" and "The Phoenix" (copyrighted in 1969) were originally recorded for the debut album in 1971 but were removed to make room for late inclusion "Jesus Was A Cross Maker."

Songs like "The Kiss" reflect her fascination with hymnody and Christian imagery, while others, notably "Soldier of the Heart," feature fuller pop arrangements.

The album is dedicated to Sill's then-boyfriend David Omer Bearden, who wrote the lyrics to the solo piano song "When the Bridegroom Comes."
