Have just discovered your Joni Mitchell covers. They are like ripe fruit - full-flavoured and simple, without the need for enhancers. Do you ever play in Austria - where I am now, or Brighton, which I visit occasionally?
thanks.i'm rediscovering these great english songs.after not hearing them for a long time.im gonna check out your nick drake too...looking forward to it
Well cool. nice one. I think in some ways I prefer your arrangement to Sandy Denny's. Yea it's different but you've stamped your own personality and style on this song which I think is great instead of trying to do an outright copy. . Not many people could do that.. Love your voice too and great playing.
keep it up. You seem happy with your music and don't let anyone change you or corrupt your intentions, and never sell out.... Keep the music real and with soul....Sandy would be proud you are giving her music life... write originals too and possibly form a Fairport Convention tribute band... many would pay to se such a band. take care and mind how you go..., God bless.
This is brilliant ! I like your humility. Your 'more info' says: "...If you like my version of this check out Sandy's, as hers is far more beautiful than I could have hoped to have achieved!..."
well to tell the truth when I first heard you sing , you sounded so similar I actually at first thought you were miming ! Nice to see someone with talents not being shamelessly arrogant or boastful or self promoting as many musicians can be nowadays.
Your take on this is genuinely beautiful, I have heard Sandy singing it with the advantage of greater backing instrumentation and in my head I put the two of your voices together and you are right up there with her, Sandy may well have enjoyed hearing you
I am hooked on the beauty of this version. It is almost haunting in it's starkness. It is as if she is out there, still singing somewhere. If only the voice possessed less loneliness. A confession I am proud of, I absolutely loved this woman and her amazing stark or sometimes lilting vocal tones. Listening to Sandy all these years later certainly puts the fools posing as artists on TV's "Who's Got Talent" in their place. Will anybody be listening to them in another 30 years? Ha Ha.
yeah mate , I'm learning my pentatonic scale...........I don't hate irish folk, i hate everyone in equal measure (i'm come from irish stock myself)..... I just hate this globalisation
Meanwhile us aussies here........... In the 1990's the bloody Irish had their boom..I met these irish folk in Melbourne, and they had a big boom in there're country,? They never gave a shit for me. Now I am s'posed to care for these irish folk ,. Who squandered their fortune?.. fuck em. I aint look'in after these dreadheads anymore.
Almost cried, silly really, but this song played while i ran free with life. If you write, then do as Sandy did, give others something new to 'listen to' it is really needed more now than ever! you may bring someone else close to tears in forty years time. Played with love & feeling thats why it's touching. Now get out there! create, make mistakes, and smile sometimes, the Worlds' still a beautiful place give us all a lift.
Wooow... gracias chica por este momento. Me has traído recuerdos de Sandy Denny, soy un fan de Fairport Convention y del folk y la psicodelia en general, es precioso escuchar algo así. :D
The beauty of You Tube is that one can, on occasion, stumble upon something truely worth seeing. This is just such an occasion. Thank you young lady I enjoyed your cover of this song very much. I wish you the very best.
Hey, I'm an old man lol 57, and loved Sandy when I was a teenager at college. It's so good to hear others lovin her tunes. She was awesome and you're doin brilliant. Keep it up!! x
It really is a beautiful song. I have three requests: 1) Winter Winds (Sandy Denny), 2) Perfect (Eliza Carthy), 3) Still Life (Kirsty MacColl) Cheers.
I agree with Scragger07--"Bushes and Briars" should be next. You've got the chops to pull it off and it's one of her best (and least appreciated) songs. Keep 'em coming!
I don't know if you are an amateur or not, but you have a quite beautiful voice. I'm sure the wonderful Sandy would have been both flattered and impressed. What's up next?
You've got me weeping here for talent lost. I almost skipped by this video because I expected very little. You did not soil my memory of Sandy's beautiful singing of this marvelous song. How did you come to be obviously enamored of Sandy's work? Please keep it up. I'll now be looking for more of your's. Thanks!
Well, I have to confess that I was ready to scoff when I clicked on this video. How can anyone presume to sing Sandy's songs? But I'm not going to scoff at all: I think you do a fine job of it! And you clearly have great taste in music!
Sandy's voice was unique and this is one of her most touching songs--I had no expectations for your effort and thought it was wonderful--you captured the essence and I appreciate you posting.
I think you do a beautiful job. My Dad and I watched this - he is more familiar with the original version than I am, and he thought you did a good job at imitating Sandy's singing style.
Hey! I cant find a tab of the song anywhere, and as of yet havent had a chance to try to work it out myself...I dunno if I will be able to work it out at all very well, but will hopeful have a chance to soon! :-)
Gee, I had the goose bumps the whole way thru. You sound pretty much like Sandy Denny. Even the British accent! Btw, would you care to sing some "Peter, Paul & Mary" songs in the future?
I saw them on the Rising For The Moon tour.I miss them terribly but they are together and that's a wonderful thing to know.I'm sure they were as wonderful as people as the music they made.
