Sandy Denny
'The North Star Grassman And The Ravens'
Island, UK, 1971
ILPS 9165
FOLLOWING THE demise of Fotheringay immaculate folk chantresse Denny set sail for a solo career debuting with this incredibly accomplished work mostly comprising self penned songs bar just two covers. The feel is expansive and confident with Denny marshaling her energy and abilities in suitably boisterous fashion crafting an album that satisfies and challenges in the same breath.
The title track for instance, buried towards the end of side two, contains one of her most poignant performances whilst 'Let's Jump The Broomstick' is up-beat and wonderfully joyous. 'Late November', fuses the applet of Fairport with her recent Fotheringay excursion and 'Blackwaterside' harnesses the wind power of a steller vocal performance atop a solid muscular foundation suggesting that Fairport's earlier achievements were just a stepping stone for further advancement.
Musical support is provided by the cream of the Brit folk rock elite including such names as Jerry Donahue, Richard Thompson, Pat Donaldson, Gerry Conway, Trevor Lucas and Barry Dransfield. All names that ring loudly in the world of early electric folk pioneering.
A great album, for sure, and one that allows Sandy to underscore her ability and commitment to the cause. A true classic.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
