Sandy, the Greatest of the Female British Folk Singer / Songwriters August 8, 2010
Melissa (Isle of Wight)
Whilst Sandy was not always entirely confident with her 'image', with a voice of this quality and her skill as a songwriter, who'd care?
Quite simply put, her voice is so beautiful and she was a songwriter of ability.
I particularly thought what she did with Fairport Convention (featuring Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick)was absolutely perfect. She really transports you to a different time. On Fairport's epic 'Liege and Lief', vocally she takes you to the time that some of the old, traditional folk songs featured on that album were written.
Sandy rarely sang out of tune and wrote some wonderful songs and that is all you need to know.
My personal favourite track on the album is 'Listen Listen', and there is also a lovely French rendition, 'Ecoute Ecoute', which just proves that no matter what language Sandy sang in, it worked and she sounded beautiful.
Music Sublime March 31, 2010
It has come as a shock that had Sandy Denny lived she would be the same age as me now. She lived in Wimbledon and by co-incidence I went to school in that town. What a voice and musical talent. I was reminded of her existence by hearing a recording at a friends house. Such was the emotion it aroused I decided to purchase one of the several DVD's that have been re-mastered. It certainly will not be the last. Her lyrics are poetry, clear and easily heard unlike a great deal of music today. I think she would have stood the test of time had she lived, probably changing and progressing her talent. What a waste that she passed away so young. Buy the DVD(s), they are worth every penny.

A fitting memorial August 18, 2009

This album is the best memorial that the late, lamented and much loved Sandy Denny deserves.
Her work with the Fairports had some beautiful peaks, "A Sailor's Life", "Who Knows where The Time Goes", "Reynardine" and others, but, as others have said, "Sandy" is her most complete set. It showcases her wonderful voice so beautifully, the pedal steel guitar playing on the opening "It'll Take A Long, Long Time" soars and weaves around her achingly perfect vocal line but that is only the door opening on a true box of delights.
Sandy was an original, a true one off and I don't think that she would ever have wanted to be packaged or pigeon-holed, which was why she left Fairport Convention as they were right at the top of their game.
You can see her need to explore different types of music on the brass-embellished "For Nobody To Hear". The musicianship on this album is amazing, Richard Thompson is, as usual, superb throughout and Dave Swarbrick also provides wonderful violin.
Unfortunately, Sandy wasn't the most outgoing person, she was shy and often suffered from bouts of self-doubt and insecurity and she sought refuge in too much drinking and she was a heavy smoker too, both of which ravaged the purity of her voice. Her drinking became a real problem towards the end of her life and she withdrew from performing as her personal life fell apart.
Her later studio albums suffer from having to disguise her damaged voice and are not really worth buying, the postumous live "Gold Dust" shows the damage she caused her vocal chords quite noticeably but "Sandy" is most definitely an album that any fan should have in their music library and Sandy's voice was at its finest here.

Its not often you get all reviewers lining up in perfect harmony, but Sandy and this album deserve it.'Sandy' is sheer beauty, exceeding all expectations.If you simply love great music, without any silly and unecessary categorisations (folk, rock etc)buy this album, it can truly be called genius (unspun).
One of the greatest voices ever comes together with a beautiful set of songs.
