Sandy Denny - Rendezvous
Regular price £24.00 Save £-24.00Product 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.
From
the
power
chords
that
open
it,
1977's
Rendezvous
aimed
squarely
at
giving
Denny
her
commercial
breakthrough.
It
demonstrates
an
artist
evolving.
Gold
Dust
really
underlines
how
Denny
could
be
viewed
as
the
British
Joni
Mitchell,
and
its
late-night
jazz
funk
backing
(with
Steve
Winwood
on
clavinet)
offers
a
beguiling
glimpse
of
where
Denny
may
have
travelled
next.
Rendezvous
closes
with
No
More
Sad
Refrains,
which
updated
her
late
60s
ballad
style.
As
Denny
died
tragically
young
less
than
a
year
after
the
album's
release,
it
became
a
poignant
full
stop
to
such
a
promising
career.
Long
out
of
print
on
LP,
this
re-issue
faithfully
replicates
the
original
1977
Island
Records
UK
release
with
lyric
inner
sleeve
and
is
pressed
onto
high
quality
180g
vinyl.
