	Sandy Denny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sandy Denny (born Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny, January 6, 1947, Wimbledon, London, England, died April 21, 1978) was a British singer and songwriter.
		Denny is credited with introducing Fairport Convention to the traditional British folk repetoire, and is thus a key figure in the development of British folk-rock.
		Denny herself was unsure as to whether she wanted to continue in that vein (in the manner of Steeleye Span and Maddy Prior) or that of a singer-songwriter like Joni Mitchell.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Sandy Denny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Sandy Denny died in 1978 (she was born in 1947); however, Gold Dust: Live at the Royalty (the final concert) was newly released in 1998.
		Sandy Denny has one of the most amazing voices ever and is an extraordinary interpreter of songs--those written by others and her own.
		Sandy has a voice and the power to use it to make songs come alive like no one else--the only downside to her career is that it was cut off too soon (for those of you who don't know her work, she only lived to be 31 and died as the result a household accident).

		Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny, you are charged that in the years between 1968 and 1974 you did, whether wilfully or out of plain carelessness, content yourself with merely becoming a British rock queen, instead of nurturing a world-class songwriting talent into the revolutionary force it once bade fair to be.
		At this stage Denny is still intent on keeping some Germanic roughage in the text, thereby providing her melodic sweetness with something to bite against.
		Sandy Denny is a pleasant representative of the most pleasant scene in British rock- the well-bred, well brushed, clean-edged and gently lyrical constellation of electro-folk.

	Sandy Denny Discography: Slipcue.Com Folk Guide
		Although she left the band in 1971, Denny frequently collaborated with many of the musicians involved in Fairport's amorphous membership, and briefly returned to the official roster for one album that was released mid-decade.
		Sandy Denny "The Northstar Grassman And The Ravens" (Island, 1971)
		Apologists will also point out that Denny was not in peak form at this show, but since she made so few live recordings to begin with, and since the remastered sound on this CD is pretty darn good, this is probably your best chance to assess her concert skills.

	Sandy Denny - hotshotdigital.com
		Although plagued by self doubt Sandy Denny was arguably one of the best female singers to emerge from the British folk scene.
		Sandy Denny was born in Wimbledon, London in 1947.
		Sandy’s voice was the perfect ‘instrument’ to match Richard Thompson’s guitar and the group recorded three classic albums — “What We Did On Our Holidays”, “Unhalfbricking” and “Leige and Leif”.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| \| 'You had to hold on to the furniture when Sandy sang'
		Alexandra Denny was born in 1947, and raised in Wimbledon.
		Denny's fragile self-esteem was rattled by a particularly cruel part of the 1960s pop whirl.
		From thereon in, though she could still scrape incredible heights, she was rather hampered by soupy arrangements (she was particularly partial to the string sections she described as her "fur coat"), and, on her last album, the fact that her voice was showing the strain that came from her fondness for drink and drugs.

		Sandy is under pressure to become a solo artist and stardom seems within her grasp but she has a drink problem.
		Meanwhile Trevor, who Sandy is relying on for emotional support, and who is seen by some people as the only firm anchor keeping her from further trouble with her excessive lifestyle, is described by others as a womaniser and opportunist riding on the back of Sandy's talent and popularity.
		Sandy by now was desperate to become a mother, but by the time she became pregnant with Georgia we are told she was already experimenting with cocaine and still drinking to excess, with the result that Georgia was born 2 months prematurely by emergency Caesarian.

		Sandy's songwriting is outstanding, and she surrounds herself here with an excellent cast (Fairports and others) who play with passion and depth throughout.
		Sandy sometimes missed on other releases by attempting to record light/playful songs--her voice doesn't work for this material, and she is at her best when she sings the heavy material, often dark and melancholy.
		"Sandy" was Denny's second album after leaving Fairport Convention, and is something of a transitional effort in that she is still singing in what we would call the traditional manner of a folk singer, but with attention being paid to the arrangements and instrumentation that are more sophisticated.

	Rock Ahead Book Reviews: No More Sad Refrains (The Life And Times Of Sandy Denny) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		There was a time when the name of Sandy Denny was almost universally known to the readers of the British music press, mainly due to the fact that her name was the one at the top of polls for female vocalist, and rightly so.
		This book is the first to document Sandy's life, from her days in the folk clubs through her time with Fairport Convention, for which she is probably best remembered.
		Sandy Denny lived a full life and although wracked by self-doubt at times, still managed to leave behind a wonderful musical legacy that is still being appreciated today.

	The Nina Simone Web - Sandy Denny
		Sandy Denny was born in London and grew up in suburban Wimbledon in 1947, shortly after the second world war.
		She was invited to sing in a BBC radio broadcast that led to a record deal with Saga Records, and she released "It's Sandy Denny".
		In 1968, Sandy was invited to replace Judy Dyble in the Fairport Convention and set sail for the earliest climes of English folk-rock tugging the group away from their leanings towards American folk.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Sandy Denny and The Strawbs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Sandy Denny is a key figure in English folk/rock and in English electric folk and later was a member of Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and did solo work.
		These tracks were recorded in 1967, around the same time as the material that became The Original Sandy Denny, but was not released until 1973, and was re-released in 1991.
		While it would be hard to consider this essential, Sandy Denny fanatics (ahem, like me) will find it an interesting addition to their collections.

	BBC - Folk & Country Review - Sandy Denny, Where The Time Goes
		Aside from Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny was probably the most distinctive female voice of the 60s British folk boom.
		That opening cut is one of two songs drawn from the album Sandy Denny and The Strawbs; though she's backed by an acoustic guitarist who isn't a patch on Richard Thompson, her vocal delivery is pretty much fully formed.
		The rest of the songs are those featuring her vocal performances on the albums Alex Campbell and His Friends and Sandy and Johnny, augmented with five alternate (and often better) takes of pieces from the latter album, which resurfaced on It's Sandy Denny in 1970.

		Though Sandy suffered from self-doubt throughout her career, the earliest recordings here suggest that her vocal ability was there from day one...
		In a climate where Vashti Bunyan is revered as a forgotten genius and Nick Drake compilations are advertised on TV, he has a point, though I suspect he'd stop short of expecting to hear her songs advertising cars, pension schemes or hamburgers (don't laugh, it could still happen).
		Though Sandy suffered from self-doubt throughout her career, the earliest recordings here suggest that her vocal ability was there from day one, even if it was sometimes hard to find the right settings for it.

	Fairport Convention: Unhalfbricking ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Sandy Denny has one of those voices that transports you to a smoky and cluttered living room basked in the autumn light of 1969.
		Thompson flexes his soloing muscles with clean, jogging runs that eventually sink behind Denny's fierce question: "You must philosophize, but why must you bore me to tears?" The tune is subtly complex with a poppy 4/4 chorus, but a slightly-off 5/4 verse.
		It is nearly impossible to believe Denny was only 22 when you hear the soul and maturity in "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." Appropriately enough, she recorded this song often during her career, but it is here we find the definitive version.

		Sandy Denny was truly one of the great voices on the British folk scene and her death in 1978 at the age of 30 robbed the world of a remarkable talent.
		The recordings here were originally made in 1967 for the Saga label and feature Sandy accompanied by her own guitar and an unnamed second guitarist and bas player on a selection of American and British traditional songs along with contemporary songs from Jackson Frank, Tom Paxton, Alex Campbell and others.
		Although her greatest years were ahead of her and the material and arrangements are rather dull the breathtaking crystalline purity of her voice is evident and, while not essential, this is certainly worth a listen.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Sandy Denny
		I came across Sandy Denny by chance after hearing her sing who knows where the time goes in the film "crush", i was bowled over by the purity of her voice, it did remind me a little of Joan Baez, I went and bought the anthology the double album and have been completely entranced.
		I have burned CDRs with Sandy's music and given them to three people because, (this may sound arrogant) I hate to think what they are missing.I would have never discovered her, but I purchased a book by the VH1 channel about tragic rock star deaths.
		Sandy Denny is so very far from unknown by living musicians (sorry I cannot spell) and listeners.

		Sandy sang well, and 'One More Chance' from 'Rising For The Moon' was a highlight of the show.
		Some of the comments on the Sandy Denny site are very touching because they mirror my reaction to hearing her voice for the first time (conciously) very recently.
		As someone who considers herself to have some musical literacy, I am devastated to realise that I have spent years not listening to Sandy Denny because I didn't realise who she was.

	Sandy Denny -- Who Knows Where the Time Goes (Retrospective CD set) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		This set covers aspects of Sandy's entire, sadly short career, and shows us many sides of her talent as singer and writer; lets us hear again her beautiful voice and sure-handed interpretations of her own material and other songs, both traditional and contemporary.
		This is not exactly the set that i would have compiled, as it omits a couple of pieces -- Dylan's "Percy's Song" with Fairport (in semi-French!)and the title song from her last album with Fairport "Rising for the Moon", particularly -- but it is still an excellent selection and incredible value for the money.
		If you're too young to remember Sandy (has it really been 22 years?), but you are a fan of British folk and folk/rock, i'm telling you that you need this set.

		A duet with folk diva Sandy Denny, it is the perfect period piece.
		With Sandy in place, Fairport began exhuming narratives and melodies at the roots of traditional British music, adding their four-beats-to-the-bar and belting it out through big amplifiers.
		Although Sandy Denny died in 1978 and Led Zeppelin deflated in 1979, Page and Plant have kept a foot in the folk- rock camp, muddying their boots on occasion at Fairport's Cropredy festival.

	Sandy Denny: Gold Dust - Live At The Royalty ---Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Singer / songwriter Sandy Denny grew up in a household that equally appreciated traditional Scots ballads, stage musicals, and the Ink Spots, and her career was similarly eclectic.
		She first gained attention singing traditional English folk music with the Strawbs (in 1967) and Fairport Convention (in 1968-70 and 1975-6), but her band Fotheringay (1970-71) and solo career (1971-1978) were devoted to her own writing.
		It is both tragic and ironical that this November, 1977 concert from Sandy Denny's comeback solo tour (her first after leaving Fairport Convention for the second time a year earlier) was her final performance ever; it captures her at the top of her game.

		As Sandy Denny's last solo work for four years, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz remains an intimate and moving record.
