Regular price $32.00 Save $-32.00Product Description
-
Known
for
her
time
as
vocalist
in
Fairport
Convention
and
respected
globally
as
Robert
Plant's
first
Alison
Krauss
(duetting
with
him
on
Led
Zeppelin's
The
Battle
Of
Evermore),
Sandy
Denny
left
a
beguiling,
ever-evolving
body
of
work
-
Kate
Bush
was
to
namecheck
her
in
song,
and
Denny's
influence
can
be
heard
in
generations
of
singer-songwriters.
Although
recorded
throughout
the
previous
year,
Like
An
Old
Fashioned
Waltz
was
released
in
early
1974,
soon
after
Denny
had
re-joined
Fairport
Convention.
An
unashamedly
romantic,
sentimental
album,
it
contains
her
much
loved
tracks
Solo
and
No
End,
and
a
rollicking
version
of
Fats
Waller's
Until
The
Real
Thing
Comes
Along
with
Diz
Disley
on
guitar,
Danny
Thompson
on
bass
and
Tony
Coe
on
sax.
The
other
cover
on
the
album
was
that
of
the
Inkspots'
Whispering
Grass
which
emphasised
Like
An
Old
Fashioned
Waltz's
warm
autumnal
nostalgia.
Out
of
print
on
LP
for
a
number
of
years,
this
re-issue
faithfully
replicates
the
original
1974
Island
Records
UK
release
with
its
embossed
gatefold
sleeve
and
is
pressed
onto
high
quality
180g
vinyl.
