SANDY DENNY
with RICHARD THOMPSON, PAT DONALDSON, TIMI DONALD
DAVE SWARBRICK, PETE KLEINOW, JOHN BUNDRICK, LINDA PETERS
The most influential vocalist in the history of British folk, both solo
and via her work with the Strawbs, Fairport Convention, and Fotheringay.
Maddy Prior, Jacqui McShee, and June Tabor all give her a run for her money,
but the late Sandy Denny remains the pre-eminent British folk-rock singer.
In addition to recording several albums of her own, Denny was an integral force behind
the best work of the most respected British folk-rock band of all, Fairport Convention,
and also contributed mightily to recordings by the Strawbs and Fotheringay.
It's impossible for words to fully evoke the haunting, spectral presence of her powerful
and penetrating alto voice, which seemed to bring the mythology of English moors
and folktales to life in contemporary, 20th century settings

Sandy Denny's second post-Fairport solo offering, produced by then-future husband Trevor Lucas,
is a beautiful blend of the traditional style with which she is most often associated and a slightly
more lavish sound that would become more prevalent in her later work.
Lucas does an excellent job of balancing the two and creates an exquisite backdrop for
Denny's gorgeous songs and majestic voice. Nearly every track has the radiance and
timelessness of her best Fairport work, along with an accessibility she had merely hinted
at prior to this. "Listen, Listen," with its soaring chorus and bed of strings and mandolin,
the lovely "The Lady," and the layered a cappella vocal arrangement of Richard Fariña's
"Quiet Joys of Brotherhood" (featuring Dave Swarbrick's haunting solo violin coda)
are perfect examples of Denny's enormous talents, and only a few of the many pleasures found here.
If you're simply looking for a quick introduction to a wonderful songwriter and one of the
finest voices in popular music, go for the single-disc best-of collection, but if you would like
to hear Sandy Denny's definitive (solo) musical statement, search out Sandy...(AllMusic)
