Sandy Denny - Sandy (Deluxe Edition) '1972/2011

Tracks list

       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. Touches such as lush strings, Allen
Toussaint's horn arrangement on "For Nobody to Hear," Sneaky Pete Kleinow's
steel guitar and former Fairport partner Richard Thompson's guitars and mandolin
bring out the many dimensions in Denny's music without obscuring it. Sandy also
boasts her best collection of original material, as well as terrific covers of
Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," featuring Linda Thompson Peters on backing
vocals, and the aforementioned "Quiet Joys of Brotherhood." 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.
