The sound of folk rock being invented by a handful of people in a small studio... can't believe the ranking is only 6.7

Apparently my potty break wasn't long enough to miss this terrible song.
And please, Joni Mitchell was a musical genius compared to this person.

Well, there WERE a few groups back then who were interested in Folk meets Renaissance (note sp). Some music still stands up and some sound rather overly floral or pulpy. (Hmmm "Overly Floral or Pulpy" as a band name anyone?)

I (otherwise a Rock/proto-Punk fan at the time) developed a penchant for Pentangle that annoyed most of my friends. Still, there were fun times, tunes and good results. Example given: Richard Thompson.

Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention - Farewell Farewell:

Montage mixing footage of Sandy Denny singing with Fotheringay on "Too Much Of Nothing" (1970), with rare footage of Fairport Convention in 1970, just after Sandy Denny departed. Farewell Farewell.

As somweone who lived through Sandy's carrier and was lucky enough to have seen her performe live not to mention her numerous albums and contrbutions along the way there was something about this lady's voice that was compelling that made you listen.

A real privalage God be good to her saoirseterri

"The understated work of the Fairport musicians helps, too, in creating a rich tapestry to ground that ethereal voice". Excuse my giving your words the royal quote treatment, but you say it so well. The voice really was of a mystical perfection. And the band has a way but is never in the way. written12

Where have I been - never heard of them and I was around then! Very nice. Caught my ear so I looked it up expecting some new indie band. 1970?? wow.
