"Sail Away to the Sea" Sandy Denny/Strawbs (Cover)

I first heard this song on the 3-CD set of Sandy's work called "Who Knows Where the Time Goes". Later, I picked up the "Sandy & the Strawbs" album, one of her earliest recordings when she collaborated with Dave Cousins in her early days of folk. This album has some beautfiul, not to be overlooked tunes on it!

wow...

[mightybarrister]

Better than the original, I must say. You unfolkified it, and made it more ethereal.

Arrived back at this again Amy - good sign , its just beautiful

[CurtisMateer]

Nice version. I like Sandy Denny's stuff. Actually I'm a really big Richard Thompson fan too.

[languagedancer]

Thank you so much for thinking to share this with me...there is a mystical something in there. Beautiful job with the song and the vid Amy!

[jellyjukebox]

Another great song Amy, love your harmonies. I hear something quite mystical - European? in your voice.

[hyperboreal]

Very nice job on this folkie tune. Is your sister doing backing vocals on this one?
