See Emily Play - Judy Dyble

Today (February 13) is Judy's birthday.So what better time to upload her version of Syd Barrett's immortal classic.Released in February 2006, just a few months before Syd's death.I think he would have approved of her vocals which,like his own,are very much part of that English Tradition of singing in a distinct, 'elocuted' way rather than in the American style.
Judy was Fairport Convention's original female vocalist before she went on to Trader Horne.
Since the Millenium she has enjoyed a renaissance of creativity and recorded four albums.This is from 'Spindle' on the Talking Elephants label.
Simon House of High Tide and Hawkwind fame supports Judy in this song.

@klivep

Thank you for your feedback and response. Syd's version isn't easy to follow but Judy does add something to it. :-)

Definately an interesting version. Although I prefer the original (obviously) and Bowie's version I do admire this one too as it has significantly different elements to it, like all good covers should.

@jonesfeld

You make an excellent point about covers needing to be different. Syd's Emily IS such a classic that one can understand some on this thread finding it hard to accept Judy's version. Even Roger Waters, had he recorded a version, would have had a mixed response. As you say, an interesting version by Judy ... :-)
