Sandy Denny
Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny (6 January 1947 – 21 April 1978) was an English singer who was lead singer of the British folk rock band Fairport Convention. She has been described as "the pre-eminent British folk rock singer". After briefly working with the Strawbs, Denny joined Fairport Convention in 1968, remaining with them until 1969. She formed the short-lived band Fotheringay in 1970, before focusing on a solo career. Between 1971 and 1977, Denny released four solo albums: ''The North Star Grassman and the Ravens'', '' Sandy'', '' Like an Old Fashioned Waltz'' and '' Rendezvous''. She also duetted with Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore" for Led Zeppelin's album ''Led Zeppelin IV'' in 1971. Denny died in 1978 at the age of 31 due to injuries and health issues related to alcohol abuse. Music publications ''Uncut (magazine), Uncut'' and ''Mojo (magazine), Mojo'' have described Denny as Britain's finest female singer-songwriter. Her composition "Who Knows Where the Ti ...

Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" is a song written by the English folk-rock singer and songwriter Sandy Denny. Denny originally recorded the song as a demo in 1967, singing and playing guitar on the track. Later that year, she briefly joined the folk band The Strawbs, and re-recorded the song, again with only her voice and guitar, for what became the album '' All Our Own Work'', which was not released until 1973. The American folk singer Judy Collins heard a tape of the original demo recording in 1968 and decided to cover the song. She released her recording first as the B-side of her version of "Both Sides, Now", and then as the title track of her album ''Who Knows Where the Time Goes'', both released in 1968. Hers was the first widely available recording of the song. In 1968, Denny joined the folk-rock band Fairport Convention. She recorded the song on her second album with the band, the 1969 album ''Unhalfbricking''. This version had more of a rock influence. "Who Knows Where ...

Reynardine
Reynardine is a traditional English ballad (Roud 397). In the versions most commonly sung and recorded today, Reynardine is a werefox who attracts beautiful women so that he can take them away to his castle. What fate meets them there is usually left ambiguous. The Mountains High The original English ballads upon which Reynardine are based, most of which date to the Victorian era, are generally found under the title The Mountains High. In the original story, Ranordine (also given as Rinordine, Rinor Dine, Ryner Dyne, Rine-a-dine, Rynadine, Retterdyne, Randal Rhin or Randal Rine) is a bandit or outlaw who encounters a young woman in the wilderness and seduces or abducts her. The song ends with a warning to young women to beware of strange men. "The Mountains High" appears not to be very old, since only one version was collected before 1800. A version appears in George Petrie's 1855 collection of ballads; other variants appear in a number of broadside ballads from the nineteenth ...

Liege & Lief
''Liege & Lief'' is the fourth album by the British folk rock band Fairport Convention. It is the third album the group released in the UK during 1969, all of which prominently feature Sandy Denny as lead female vocalist (Denny did not appear on the group's 1968 debut album), as well as the first to feature future long-serving personnel Dave Swarbrick and Dave Mattacks on violin/mandolin and drums, respectively, as full band members (Swarbrick had previously guested on ''Unhalfbricking''). It is also the first Fairport album on which all songs are either adapted (freely) from traditional British and Celtic folk material (for example "Matty Groves", "Tam Lin"), or else are original compositions (such as "Come All Ye", "Crazy Man Michael") written and performed in a similar style. Although Denny and founding bass player Ashley Hutchings quit the band before the album's release, Fairport Convention has continued to the present day to make music strongly based within the British folk ...

Percy's Song
"Percy's Song" is a song written by Bob Dylan. It was recording during the October 1963 sessions for Dylan's third album, ''The Times They Are a-Changin' (album), The Times They Are A-Changin''', but ultimately not included on that album.

A Sailor's Life
"A Sailor’s Life" (Roud 273; Laws K12) is an English language folk song which describes the attempt of a young woman to find her lover, a sailor. Eventually she hears that he has drowned and mourns him. History The song was printed in eighteenth-century broadsides and collected by W. Percy Merrick in 1899 from Henry Hills of Lodsworth, Sussex. Countless recordings have been made of the song, including one version sung in 1908 by A. Lane of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England, recorded on phonograph by Percy Grainger; this recording can be heard on the British Library Sound Archive website. It was published in the ''Penguin Book of English Folk Songs'' and recorded in 1960 by A. L. Lloyd for the album ''A Selection from the Penguin Book of English Folk Songs''. It was subsequently recorded by Judy Collins on her album '' A Maid of Constant Sorrow'' in 1961 and Martin Carthy for his ''Second Album'' in 1966 with his then playing partner violinist Dave Swarbrick.

If You Gotta Go, Go Now
"If You Gotta Go, Go Now" (sometimes subtitled "(Or Else You Got to Stay All Night)") is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1964. The first released version was as a single in the US by the UK group the Liverpool Five in July 1965, but this did not chart in the US despite receiving much airplay, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Another British band, Manfred Mann, then issued the song as a single in September 1965 and had a number 2 hit. Fairport Convention also had a chart hit, with a French version, in 1969. Dylan's version Dylan began the recording for "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" on January 13, 1965, during the first session for ''Bringing It All Back Home''. Of the two acoustic takes completed, neither was used. He recorded the song again on January 15, producing four takes with a full band, plus backing vocalist Angeline Butler from the folk trio The Pilgrims. Take 4 was released on ''The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991'' in 1991, and the sessions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unhalfbricking
''Unhalfbricking'' is the third album by the British folk rock band Fairport Convention and their second album released in 1969. It is seen as a transitional album in their history and marked a further musical move away from American influences towards more traditional English folk songs that had begun on their previous album, ''What We Did on Our Holidays'' and reached its peak on the follow-up, ''Liege & Lief'', released later the same year. The album features several Bob Dylan songs, which he had not yet released. It also features what is arguably Sandy Denny's most notable achievement as a songwriter with the song "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", which has been covered by many other performers and is now regarded as a classic. The only traditional song on the album, "A Sailor's Life", is seen as pivotal in the development of English folk rock music. Changes in the line-up of the band, due not only to its musical direction but also to external events, mark this album as a tu ...

Meet On The Ledge
"Meet on the Ledge" is a song written by British singer-songwriter Richard Thompson and recorded by British folk rock band Fairport Convention in 1968 on Island Records. It was their second single. Background The song was taken from the album '' What We Did on Our Holidays''. The band had performed the song on the 1969 launch of ''From the Roundhouse'', a short-lived BBC television youth and arts programme about the London "underground scene". The vocals were performed by Sandy Denny and Iain Matthews. The song's title came from a large, low-hanging tree limb on which Richard Thompson used to play as a child, and which he and his friends had dubbed "The Ledge". Reception Thompson has acknowledged that some people interpret "the ledge" as some sort of code for the afterlife and that it is popular at funerals. In an interview with ''Mojo'' magazine in March 2011, Thompson said: "The hardest thing about being a 17-year-old songwriter is that you're embarrassed – you're ne ...

Nottamun Town
Nottamun Town, also known under other titles such as "Nottingham Fair" and "Fair Nottamon Town" (Roud # 1044) is an American folk song. Although sometimes suggested to be an English song of medieval origin brought to North America during the early colonial era and preserved in oral tradition, and still described as such in some popular works, it is more likely derived from popular 18th and 19th century printed broadsides, with the most likely immediate precursor being the 19th century "Paddy's Ramble to London".Randolph, V (1992) ''Unprintable Ozark Folksongs and Folklore: Roll me in your arms, Volume 1'', University of Arkansas Press, pp.304Hal Rammel (1990) ''Nowhere in America: The Big Rock Candy Mountain and Other Comic Utopias'', University of Illinois Press, p. 84 The British musicologist Cecil Sharp collected the best-known version of the song in 1917 in the area of the Eastern Kentucky Coalfield. Josiah Combs had previously collected it in the same area, and other versions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
I'll Keep It With Mine
"I'll Keep It with Mine" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1964, first released by folk singer Judy Collins as a single in 1965. Dylan attempted to record the song for his 1966 album ''Blonde on Blonde''. Dylan's versions Dylan recorded a vocal-and-piano demo of the song for publishing company M. Witmark & Sons in June 1964, which was released by Columbia in 2010 on '' The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964''. In mid-January 1965, during sessions for the ''Bringing It All Back Home'' album, Dylan again recorded the song solo, on piano. This version, with the working title "Bank Account Blues", was released in 1985 on the '' Biograph'' retrospective. (The album notes contradictorily indicate that this performance was recorded in June 1964 and that it was recorded in January 1965. The latter is correct.) A full-band rehearsal of the song, recorded during the early ''Blonde on Blonde'' sessions on January 27, 1966 (per album booklet), was released on '' The Bo ...
