CD Reviews

Not my Sandy Denny
Richard A. Schindler | USA | 01/10/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a fan of the whole range of Sandy Denny's work and like English interpretations of the blues, then this collection is for you. However, if you're expecting those folk tunes (both traditional and contemporary) sung in Sandy Denny's absolutely splendid voice, then you will be grievously disappointed (as I was). I had hoped that this collection would yield some pleasant surprises, even though her sadly shortened output is familiar to anyone who has listened to her music over the past three-and-a-half decades. I respect her willingness to explore different realms of musical experience, but other than the first few Fotheringay tunes and the familiar refrain of the "Quiet Joys of Brotherhood" I was hard put to sit quietly and listen to the music. The vocal inflection and phrasing of the bluesy tunes, as well as her sometimes self-conscious use of caesura and rhythmic variation, were almost painful to hear. I recommend the 3-CD set of "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" for anyone unfamiliar with Denny's work and ready to experience one of the most unique voices in the history of folk rock."
21st Century Mix Tape of Some of Denny's Finest
QIOMD | Princeton, NJ | 01/06/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Especially popular in England, the 'mix tape' CD is proliferating everywhere. These cd's, often a freebie with a magazine, are a personalized mix of new music (Tracks Magazine, Word Magazine), themed music (MOJO, Q from England) or, in this case, some of Sandy Denny's most moving interpretive work.



If you are new to Denny, go to Leif and Liege/Fairport Convention, or to the No More Sad Refrains Anthology. This Collection is for obsessive fans, like myself, who get a kick out of another fan's mix of her work.
