Alexandra "Sandy" Elene McClean Denny (1947-1978)
I have lovely Sandy's 1972 ST solo LP on now. So good.
What a wonderful track list!
1) It'll Take A Long TIme
2)Sweet Rosemary
3)For Nobody To Hear
4)Tomorrow Is A Long Time
5)Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood
1)Listen, Listen
2)The Lady
3)Bushes and Briars
4)It Suits Me Well
5)The Music Weaver
Doesn't get any better. Sandy Denny lovers unite here!
I was listening to her vinyl just now and thought "The Music Weaver" was so perfect a way to describe her....guess I'm not alone as I just saw the double CD at amazon by the same title.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9haVapOCplc ...this tune can bring a tear to my eye...anytime I need one.
I hope you all enjoy Sandy, the MUSIC WEAVER.....too.

It is a pretty amazing cross-section isn't it, cristino (welcome!!)...from the Strawbs to Fairport, Fotheringay to her wonderful solo work and back again to Faiport!
I have the "Music Weaver" collection in my car player non-stop.

Oh...to thank Sandy for her vocal work on Zep IV, Sandy was given the
symbols of three pyramids...pretty cool..her own Led Zep secret name.

Sandy Denny was a wonderful singer, agreed - 'The Boxful of Treasures' collection comes highly recommended from this corner. Have been getting back into her stuff again recently as the new singer in the band is a big fan too. Great news about an expanded version of 'All Our Own Work' too.
As for the Strawbs, shame on anyone for not knowing them - easily the best folk-rock band after Fairport, though for a while they did branch out a little more towards prog in the mid-70s. Still making excellent music today, they are well worth seeing live - it's currently basically the line-up which produced 1974's Hero & 'Heroine', but with Oliver Wakeman on keys.
Recommended album starting points:
From The Witchwood
Bursting At the Seams
Hero & Heroine |

Fairport still tours, though I've YET to hear Liege and Lief (!)
LOVE Unhalfbrickling though, especially the Dylan covers (Si tu dois partir!)
And "What We Did On Our Holiday"...brilliant! All three at least are MUST-HAVES, Joe!

Because the Strawbs' album wasn't released until "72 (?) I always assumed they were a 70's band, not a pre-Fairport 1967 band!
