Jill has had her songs included on a host of soundtrack and compilation
albums. Following are the albums of particular note, or where she has
contributed songs not available on her own recordings.

In 1992, Todd Rundgren included "Too Cool To Fall
In Love" from "Things Here Are Different" on his "An
Elpee's Worth Of Productions." Regardless of the unfortunate
poor retail and radio showing of her first album, Jill was first brought
to the attention of the industry at large simply because of Todd's
involvement. Don't forget that Jill was before Tori Amos, before Shawn
Colvin, before Jewel, before Dido, before the solo female musician
found her place in the "business." Her record company flat
out dropped the ball and didn't know what to do with her.

On the other hand, Vin Scelsa has been a good friend
to Jill and made a point of featuring her on the cover of his " Grooves
Magazine" CD in 1995. While everybody else was talking
about "I Kissed A Girl" Vin included "The Jig Is Up"
to bring attention to her stellar writing and playing - and prove
she was and is more than just a novelty act. |

Atlantic released an enhanced "Spew"
CD in 1995. "Good Person Inside" was the featured Jill song
on this disc, but it's the inclusion of a short video for "The
Man In The Boat" that makes this disc special. Also known as "The
Clitoris Song" it is laced with double entendre and
is just another example of the smart writing that Jill so easily entertains
us with. For more on this, check out Gary
Assassin's pages and head over to the video
page.

That Summer, the folks at 2Way Media released their
second interactive " Launch"
CD magazine and included a feature section for Jill. A good collection
of sound bites from "I Kissed A Girl", "Karen By Night"
and "Good Person Inside" make this a nice little collection
- and unlike a lot of enhanced CD's, this one actually works. |

 |
Late that same year of 1995, Atlantic released the "You
Sleigh Me" compilation. Featuring 12 artists for the
12 days of Christmas, Jill's cover of "Merry Christmas From The
Family" is priceless.

 |
In 1997, Vin Scelsa again hosted and brought Jill in for "In
Their Own Words" at the Bottom
Line club in New York - "a bunch of songwriters sittin'
around singing." Recorded live, Jill plays and sings Gloria
Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (go here)
with Billy Bragg handling backup vocals.
|
VH1 released another enhanced CD in 1997. " Hard
Rock Live" also features "I Will Survive." |
 |
Jill's cover of "Just A Little Lovin'"
is featured on the Dusty Springfield " Forever
Dusty" tribute album. |
 |
 |
In 1999 Jill contributed her version of "Sunrise, Sunset" for the
Knitting
Factory release of Knitting
On The Roof - "Modern Interpretations of the Classic Musical
Fiddler On The Roof."
