You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons?
"Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
For they loathe me, every one"
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be?
And can you never swear a year
To any one of we?
"No, I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me"
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call

Yes, a solid 10 from me.

Yes it is. Soulful and gorgeous.
Is that what drugs are for?

Yes it is.
Agreed! Beautiful piece.
Well, there WERE a few groups back then who were interested in Folk meets Renaissance (note sp). Some music still stands up and some sound rather overly floral or pulpy. (Hmmm "Overly Floral or Pulpy" as a band name anyone?)
I (otherwise a Rock/proto-Punk fan at the time) developed a penchant for Pentangle that annoyed most of my friends. Still, there were fun times, tunes and good results. Example given: Richard Thompson.
Richard Thompson. Still actual still brilliant. Salford Sunday pure genius
Funny. I suppose I would rather listen to Celtic influenced music than reggae too.
So would I. Any day, anytime.
In a BBC interview producer Joe Boyd said that when Sandy Denny joined Fairport Convention he tought she would “eat them for breakfast” as “Sandy was a hard drinking, hard smoking, hard cursing girl who could hold up the bar till 4am and Fairport were very well behaved shy boys from Muswell Hill”. He then explained it all worked out because “when she opened her mouth with Richard Thompson playing guitar behind her she was happy and loved working with Richard”.

Clearly this Zep fan is unaware of who is singing harmonies on "The Battle of Evermore" which he rated a 10.
Touche.
He got one thing (accidentally right). Joni Mitchell is indeed a musical genius.
Ya gotta feel compassion for people that just can't hear it. Or not.

And, you know, I had listed to that song for years not knowing that fact until someone here at RP mentioned it in a comment. It's what makes these comments worth reading. Thanks to everyone who passes along such knowledge.
And please, Joni Mitchell was a musical genius compared to this person.

I’m a huge Fairport fan and I’m ashamed to say I’d completely forgotten this magnificent song exists. The problem with iPod type devices is you tend to create playlists by cherry picking songs and sometimes brilliant album tracks fall between the cracks and get lost. I’m going to put this album, in its entirety, on my phone when I get home tonight and make it my album of the week!
I'm sorry to laugh here...but that comment was just really funny. Thanks GarageDragon!
Sublime!
Apparently my potty break wasn't long enough to miss this terrible song.

Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention - Farewell Farewell:
Montage mixing footage of Sandy Denny singing with Fotheringay on "Too Much Of Nothing" (1970), with rare footage of Fairport Convention in 1970, just after Sandy Denny departed. Farewell Farewell.
As somweone who lived through Sandy's carrier and was lucky enough to have seen her performe live not to mention her numerous albums and contrbutions along the way there was something about this lady's voice that was compelling that made you listen.
A real privalage God be good to her saoirseterri
"The understated work of the Fairport musicians helps, too, in creating a rich tapestry to ground that ethereal voice". Excuse my giving your words the royal quote treatment, but you say it so well. The voice really was of a mystical perfection. And the band has a way but is never in the way. written12It's great to have a station that plays Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny instead of the mindless teen drivel that you hear elsewhere.
Me three!
Her many gifts left for us to ponder are the stuff of life.. Rest in peace my dear, we all remain in your debt.
