05--SUNBEAM5074
"Recorded in New York, Susan Pillsbury's sole record was released in November 1973 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here. Deeply personal and spiritual, it touches on themes both personal and universal, with sensitive support from guitarist Jay Berliner and stand-up bassist Richard Davis, both of whom contributed decisively to the atmosphere of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks (with which this shares clear similarities). Mellow '70s singer-songwriter folkiness, akin to a female Tim Buckley. Featuring five previously-unissued bonus tracks (recorded soon after the album), detailed liner notes and rare photographs, it's nothing short of a lost singer-songwriter classic."
"One of the finest singer-songwriter efforts you'll ever hear, up with the best albums in the genre ... It appears simple, but layers of complexity unfold as the songs sink into your brain. She has an utterly beautiful voice, and 'Heaven' and 'Love Never Dies' are the most impossibly fragile love songs you will ever hear."-The Acid Archives
"A folk-oriented singer/composer whose unaffected vocal style beautifully compliments her simple, melodic songs, many of which express her personal spiritual devotion."-Rolling Stone
