Hi Rachel, Welcome along. Always good to hear from new people. It always seems that "Liege and Lief" is everyone's starting point with Sandy. That certainly...
I am going to be controversial now, and say that I am really suprised that many think Sandys best work was with Fairport, I think for her as an artist her solo...
Hi, Given that most people these days have probably only heard "Who Knows..." and also the fact that in a poll (as I seem to remember) it was voted the most...

I think too many of Sandy's solo albums got too much in the way of sweetness, i.e., the strings. No question in my mind....Sandy was a great writer and had a...

Wouldn't it be great if someone could"de Specter-ize" her solo works? Like they did with Let It Be Naked. I would be the first in line for that. I wish there...
Best work, of course, is subjective here. Sandy's work with Fairport was more Trad, while her solo work was very much Singer/Songwriter material. It's a matter...
John, I absolutely agree with you. I have an Elvis Unsurpassed Masters disc, stripped down w/o the strings and so forth, makes the songs sound great and far...

I can't imagine why she would want to go live in the States. A lot of her musical inspiration came from her connectedness to the land, and unless she moved...
