Producer Lorenzo Wolff's 'Down Where the Valleys Are Low: Another Otherworld for Judee Sill' reinterprets 7 songs by the legendary singer/songwriter. Assisted by a circle of singers and musicians associated with his East Williamsburg studio, Wolff replaces the period LA soft rock, semi-classical, ethereal sounds of Sill's original recordings with what he calls "dirtier, more earthbound elements."

Judee Sill's eponymous 1972 debut was the first released on David Geffen's Asylum Records. She was championed early on by J.D. Souther and Graham Nash. She cited, as her major influences, Pythagoras, Bach, and Ray Charles, and her stated ambition was to "become the world's greatest songwriter." A second album followed in 1973, but she fell out of favor with Geffen, was dropped from the label, drifted into obscurity, and died at 35 from a drug overdose.
