Fairport Convention - Reynardine

[BlackHawksFanForever]

Liege and Lief album is on my album wish list.

[theseustoo]

I've seen Fairport with and without Sandy Denny... But without Sandy Denny, they're just not the same... Sandy's voice is pure magic.

:)

[simmo303]

One to send shivers through the body. Probably the finest example of the gorgeous tone of her voice.

[MrHalfwayline]

Liege and lief is in my top 10 albums of all time. and Sandy Denny is / was pure class. folk at its best.

[19davo66]

Her voice is amazing, many thanks to the person who posted this. Beautiful.

[u1n2a3]

Horslips are at Cropredy this year.Watch and be amazed.

[midmodgal]

@u1n2a3 Cropredy's still going? I'd love to go again. :D

[tas6010]

Can't help going back to Country Joe's "Colors for Susan" (1968) on this one. Sure do love to hear Sandy sing in long meter. This is a masterpiece. It's even better now than it was in '69. I consider myself extremely fortunate that I caught a few of her shows before it was too late. Still missing her.

The bass shot at 4:01 penetrates deeply in the heart

[SeducedBySirius]

I think this song becomes more beautiful everytime I listen to it. And I have been listening to it for at least 20 years lol

[clawpuss2]

I can't think of any other song quite like this. It seems to be about to stop completely or gather pace. Love it, very unusual.

[donpedrossy]

sandy may she rest in piece,the music she left is inmortal.

[SchmedleyDoRight]

Balladeers, Minstrels, Raconteurs, Chanteuses are the real heroes of a culture.

[hymnlover1]

Got goosepimples listening to this!!

[triplettam]

One of the few voices that can make you fall in love with voices.

[farsajjj]

As always ...beautiful beyond genre, age, or 'style'....timeless and enduring ...the definition of genius, and the purpose of Art....

I know, I sound like a pompous ass..but I hope you guys understand what I'm (trying) to say...thank you !!!---Sigh....where have they all gone?? Who knows where the Time goes???...Who knows.

[freespritz]

@farsajjj

you don't sound pompous, maybe you're an ass, but am with you and understand,

xxx

[farsajjj]

@freespritz ...Hahahahah...!!!...ummm, gee..thanx?...from one ass to another...(we're all assholes on this bus mister)...i feel blessed to have been born in a time where great music and Art was being made, and I was there to hear it, see it, feel it...and share it with friends..ciao!...xxx

[horos22]

"at dark she followed him.. his teeth did brightly shine..", never fails, at that point the chills always go up my back..

[westpalmscott]

A classic. My all time favorite folk ballad by Sandy Denny.

[cofpaddy]

Ah Sandy Denny, the only guest vocalist on a Led Zeppelin track. Awesome!

Liege & Lief is 10/110. Such an album.

[SmileFromBehind]

@cofpaddy - wow, l didn't know that, can you please say which track?

[sdgakatbk]

According to Wikipedia, on Led Zeppelin IV, she sang with Plant on The Battle of Evermore.

[SmileFromBehind]

@sdgakatbk

Thank you so much! I love Robert Plant as well, but I find this cultural crossover very exciting. Heading back to the LZ records ...

[sdgakatbk]

That shows Zep had good taste.

[Thorsson64]

Totally my favourite album ever. It opened my ears.

[ledzeprebecca]

This does sound somewhat like Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane.

[apemanstreetwalker]

@ledzeprebecca Are you nuts??? Both awesome but totally different.

[AndreasLundgren]

wroooooooooooom

[roac7777]

One of my favourite Sandy/Fairport tracks.

Such a haunting melodic rich voice, sadly missed, but her music lives on forever.

[ScaeanGate]

The best female folk voice ever.

[Electrozonelectronic]

This is beautiful music. Thankyou for posting it.

[YeshuaKingsKid]

:)

Thank you!

[tealeaf56]

Amen, AnnihilatingAngel.

I was looking for a description of sweetly alluring Sandy Denny's voice combined with Fairport Convention. You said it best: "Enchanted music." Great, great album.

[simmo303]

A track that illustrates the beauty of Sandy Denny's voice.

[AnnihilatingAngel]

Most of my favorite albums have to grow on me over time. Such was not the case with Liege & Lief: Instant rapture. This is enchanted music that transports the listener away from this grim & shabby "modern" world.

[sharkbite75]

Wow, I can't believe this is on here.... the song just popped into my head after 20+ years, and I had to hear it again... Wow.

[bartonim]

I've just discovered them--they were a name out there that begged, and I knew of Sandy and Richard. But what magic! Amazing!

[TimeLadyRae]

Thanks everyone! Don't miss the documentary on Sandy Denny tomorrow night (22nd April) on Radio 2; or if you do miss it, catch it on the iPlayer!

[HCxGRILLOx]

[TimeLadyRae]

Yes, it is indeed a fantastic album - I've just discovered it myself and am very impressed! Can anybody recommend any other Fairport albums of the same ilk??

[rojonsmik]

Also 'What We Did On Our Holidays' is an excellent album. My favourite track is 'She Moves Through The Fair'

[DarkRecluse]

Pretty cool, has a nice celtic sorta feel. I've listened to a few tracks of this album and i think i'll get it.
