Jill Cislaghi - “Friends of Mine” LP (Fleetwood Records, 1977)
Scarce and excellent femme folk from late 70s Massachusetts. A previous seller described the album this way:
"Jill Cislaghi wrote and recorded her only album in her senior year in 1977 at Regis College, in Massachusetts near where she grew up. This is a rural Massachusetts record, with a naturally reserved / hushed vibe that is very much in touch with the land, without any hippie posturing. A steady, grounded spirituality shines through these songs, revealing a genuine spirit, neither too earthy nor too flightly. Cislaghi's voice so clearly has the weight of an old soul that anyone should be able to recognize the special brilliance of this record within the first 20 seconds. This LP has been compared favorably to Ted Lucas, and Happy Sad era Tim Buckley is another point of reference. But Cislaghi is very young here, and hasn't been around long enough to be completely heartbroken, and this is ultimately a very beautiful and inspiring record, no downer moments, even though a romantic world-weariness hangs over the whole thing.
Jill Cislaghi accompanies herself on acoustic guitar, and several songs feature electric bass (uncredited) and a little electric guitar (also uncredited.) There is a brief, very tasty psychedelic electric guitar solo which is very heavily phased and sounds just otherworldly.
Cislaghi pressed 500 copies on Massachusetts' own vanity custom-pressing plant Fleetwood Recording Co. She made this record for her friends and wound up selling nearly every copy at her college, so this LP is incredibly hard to come by now."
