Strawbs and Sandy Denny - Sail Away To The Sea

[gwizdawka]

The Great Lady!!!

[Blake788]

search nicolas and the iceni summer's end. they write beautiful english folk music which has echoes of denny and drake.

[nezichov]

This is A GREAT album. Great that it was reissued.

[geratonia]

Considering how the music is now commercially installed , I doubt that ever again will be set conditions

required for Beatles ` and other revolutionary works . .. as well. ever be happy if you have software that allows you to enjoy this kind of music. With Denny on the idol, HMN I'm not even sure she order to participate .. Music is not a football competition...

[superjumpman92]

anyone know where to acquire this album?

[mythtree]

I LOVE the Strawbs, I LOVE Sandy Denny, I just... really love her voice & what she writes and her beauty, she really was - & is & will be evermore

[lujackb]

she is rather comely and her voice makes up for whatever 'plainness'thatceltic reject detects.And I'll hoist a oint of guinness to ya

[hallettscove]

From the very first not she sings she grabs you.

[seahag1967]

someone took this cd from my car...years ago...thank you for posting this tune...

[DottyWang]

Most forms of music get to a point where nothing more new can be done. See how classical music has become experiment with sound and see how pop can no longer write new tunes and ends up as snarling on one note or screaming meaningless descants. The only way to go is to look around the world and borrow - or to return to simplicity. Neither are quite satisfactory and need much thought. The possibility of corporations backing this do not exist.

[HSFootballMoms]

I hadn't heard this before, either. Loved it, thanks!

[ginaonthebass]

i just adore sandy...not heard this song before ...so thanks for posting:):)

[bobgreen623]

Sandy Denny, beautiful in every way

[sifakaindri52]

I love her voice and am a proud possessor of the early Strawbs & Sandy album which I feel is a classic. I know she had her flaws, but her voice is something which still gives me delight

[MrVampiredog]

SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL. LOVED HER

[jnewman1723]

Thank you for posting this wonderful song and the beautiful pictures of Sandy. She looks so happy in some of them. A light went out when she left. It also reminded me that I have an old Strawbs album with this track on it which I haven't played for years and years. Happy days

[robibm2003]

Being in the states, the only way I know Sandy was her Fairport Convention stuff, which is rather hit and miss for me. But this performance was fantastic.

[HSFootballMoms]

@robibm2003 Give a listen to her solo album Like An Old Fashioned Waltz -- available here in the US -- fabulous stuff

[micky44u]

beutifull

[DankOne2008]

Beautiful

[magic114]

I remember her most during her time with the Fairport Convention. That is when I first heard and fell in love with her voice. Nothing else I can say that hasn't already been said about her. She was brilliant...

[JoelGallob]

what a wonderful singer. how rare. and how lucky those of us who were aware of her beautiful work back then. Some things never die... so long as there is a way to preserve them for the future. thank you for saving this.

[arhatyellow]

Look for Strawbs : Ghosts - Fairport, Pentangle, Donovan, rule.

[micky44u]

ssandy takes me back to times a foever gone felings forever lost pasions yet to feel

what a beutifull tallent not known unto herself yet are we ever realy known unto ourselves thats it

[nezichov]

This song and Crazy Man Michael are just amazing. I never get tired of listening to them.

[917028534]

just bought the album...wow simple Strawbs and Sandy pre-Fairport....and still fresh and ahead of so much today. Thank you Dave for bringing it all back.

[vazmo14850]

sandy still lives in my heart. no female singer touches me the same way.....

[nancywebbcorbett1]

if she'd only known how much her music was loved, perhaps she would have been a happier soul. i'm glad i can listen to her still.

[DerekBayRoberts1]

Led Zeppelin brought me here.

[edgluhrs]

Sandy! Always in my heart. Thanks.

[carollizc]

The boyfirend I had 32 years ago still has this LP...he says, now and then, that he'll give it back. I just need to come and get it, but I don't know that his wife would be too glad to have me visit...tough, ain't it, when an old lover is still one of your best friends?

[icaruswv]

divine!

[zepelindeplomo]

2:32 LED ZEPPELIN :D

[systemtree]

@zepelindeplomo LOL good one! :-D

[JyHiable]

Fresh, expressive and distinctive voice. A perfect voice to the folk music. I would like to compare her voice to that of Iris DeMent, although there are also differences.

[MUSICALX57]

Belíssima Sandy Denny. Imortal.

[3tangle3]

R.I.P Sandy Denny

[msstevie1951]

Beautiful! Sadly I never heard her until she was gone, but I feel her through her songs,and think she must have been a special lady for sure.xx Thank you Terry xxx Donna xxx

[rocker53zero]

Sandys voice conjuers up visions of summer and always makes me smile.

[tonythekingfisher]

Amazing that this almost never saw the light of day, only being released 6 years after it was recorded on the album All Our Own Work.

Sandy's voice sounds truly wonderful as always, and the band interweave harmonies and instruments so well.

RIP Sandy - you were one of the very best.

[billyboccaj]

for gods sake please leave the lp

[Pitfossil]

Steal my gf, my bike, my flat, I don´t mind. But please leave that LP.

[bucktkd]

same here =]

[HarryHaller1963]

A beautiful rendition of a song by Dave Cousins, who recognized Sandy's gift and gave it a place to flower.

[Cantrememberjack]

Sandy is on the list at NPR for the 50 greatest singers of all time..I was actually doing a Joni Mitchell search when I found it. Really a shame that so many seem to pour all their lives out far too early. Maybe that's why. She got a vote from me today and joins my top 5. Hauntingly Beautiful.

[Oxfordclassicjazz]

This song has the quality of a real English folk song. She certainly had some tonsils, that Sandy.

[blokebroadcasting]

What we did on our holidays was my introduction to Sandy in 69. sadly missed

[nannerbj]

Yeah Tim its such a shame she is gone but thankfully she left such alot of great music and she wont be forgotten ever.

[nannerbj]

Sandy my hero

[marycigarettes]

she was special.

[nannerbj]

That she was Mary - hoping one day to visit her grave. Very special talent

[marycigarettes]

i know someone who played with her..a lovely double bass player called danny thompson..he also played with john martyn for many years...when i hear sandy sing'where does the time go',my heart really soars....and then robert plant loved her too..i sometimes think when he sings with alison krous he's thinking back to his time spent with sandy.

[schnappi0]

Why only did she have to pass away so early? Such a wonderful song and her mystic voice.

[stephenwpierson]

Sweet and sincere. She makes a believer of me. I just love her the Strawbs especially.

I'll never forget hearing a couple named Kate and Ray sing "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" at Brady's Cafe in Kent, Ohio, in 1993.

Wherever you are, Kate and Ray, thanks.

[LaurentziuRo]

Great song !

[artj22850]

She will live on forever. What great feeling in her fine voice. I love this song - beautiful!

[malawri67]

Great music,great song,huge talents...

RIP Sandy.

[eggflipsupreme]

...perfect voice, with such compassion...

[HarryHaller1963]

Sounds like Hooper on harmony--both this and Cousins/Hooper version are classics.

[CelticReject]

If she went into a compitition today, such as 'Britans Got Talent 'she'd not win!!!!!

They'd pick a dip ship pretty face instead! Who'd make them money.

The Music Industry is just that... and industry. Not a creative community.

SAD!

[irelephant]

You may well be correct, yet I find her features beautiful in a wholesome, girl-next-door sort of way. Similarly, Jacqui McShee's features are perfect as a model of Elizabethan beauty, rather than a contemporary cover girl look. Let's be thankful it is we fans of refined taste who get to appreciate the inner beauty of these wonderful ladies. It is our own beauty being reflected back to us, Celt.

[MademoiselleNobs1973]

The whole problem about facing music as another product rather than a natural and one of the deepest ways of human expression and connection... That's something that would really drive me worried, if I didn't see how many people still make this "real side" live.

[Iaido47]

@MademoiselleNobs1973

I'm truly sad today, I found out that Dave Cousins of the Strawbs passed away in July last year, I had no idea, and personally I will miss his fine voice and musical talent.

[gildasderhuys]

@Iaido47 WHAT are you talking about? Dave is very much alive and just about to issue an expanded CD version of "All Our Own Work", the album the Strawbs made with Sandy. Check your facts.

[Iaido47]

@gildasderhuys

How about you check your attitude. The information I gleaned was a hoax posted on the internet. I was concerned, and I turned the information over to Dave's representative.

[BohemianConspiracy]

@MademoiselleNobs1973 tien voilà un bien particulier pseudo , y aurait il un queconque lien avec le capitaine du Montreux Jazz Festival , Mr Nobs ? à moins que vous soyez fan du festival... d'ailleurs peut-etre que ne vous parlez pas français...do ya speak french ?

[MademoiselleNobs1973]

@BohemianConspiracy Oui, je parle français :) Merci, mais j'ai choisi "Mademoiselle Nobs" à cause de la chanson de Pink Floyd , en verité c'est une version différente de "Seamus". Pourtant, j'adore le festival :D J'ai beacucoup aimé ton pseudo aussi!

[somersetdelta]

Agreed!

[Pitfossil]

@CelticReject - so what, think modern! A good scalpel wielder makes a stupid brat look like all the others, digital studio equipment makes her sound like all the others...we´re just too old fashioned to believe that´s progress.

[MeIancholyMan]

@CelticReject tho I tend to asgree with you.. after the 2009 season of AGT, and the Kentucky Chicken-catcher winning, have we seen him? heard him? he was a fluke and the f***ing judges participated in letting that no talent hack get to the final rounds where most of his 'kin' in kentucky must have voted all their votes for him, and undoubtedly aided by sociopathic adolescents' votes... I was totally disgusted with their decision and dismayed that Piers' judgement was wholly lacking!!!

[robnaylor55]

@CelticReject Yes, that's true...she wouldn't win "Britain's Got Talent" today....but then she wasn't exactly "mainstream" back then,either. People forget that the COMMERCIAL music industry's always been like that...we have a lot of great talent to look back on from the 60s and 70s,sure,but there was a huge amount of dross back then,too,making money for the labels. There are still non-commercial people out there with bags of talent doing good stuff,but as always you have to search for it.

[CelticReject]

@robnaylor55 That's very true. I recently listened to a radio show, within which they played the top 40 from some year in the 70's, and some of the music was truly dreadful!

[TomRAFC]

@CelticReject sandy was a genius talent but i have to disagree with part of your statement, she had an incredibly pretty face!

[TomRAFC]

@CelticReject sandy was a genius talent but i have to disagree with part of your statement, she had an incredibly pretty face! 0:22 1:54 2:00 and my personal favourite 3:03

[geratonia]

I have no money to buy you a smile....

I try not to listen to this song. Thank you SANDY.

[plattform5163]

Thanks for sharing this great video! 5+
