Description
Known for her time as vocalist in Fairport Convention and respectedglobally as Robert Plant’s frst Alison Krauss (duetting with him on LedZeppelin’s The Battle Of Evermore), Sandy Denny left a beguiling, everevolving body of work – Kate Bush was to namecheck her in song, andDenny’s infuence can be heard in generations of singer-songwriters
From the power chords that open it, 1977’s Rendezvous aimed squarely at givingDenny her commercial breakthrough. It demonstrates an artist evolving. GoldDust 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 abeguiling glimpse of where Denny may have travelled next. Rendezvous closeswith No More Sad Refrains, which updated her late 60s ballad style. As Dennydied tragically young less than a year after the album’s release, it became apoignant full stop to such a promising career.
Long out of print on LP, this re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1977 IslandRecords UK release with lyric inner sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180gvinyl.
