Come all ye rolling minstrels,
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky.
Those that dance will start to dance
And those who don't will sway
In time to this our merry tune
That we play for you today
So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky
Our fiddler, he just loves to play
And that's why he plays so good.
And now he plays a violin
Made out of solid wood.
So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky
Possessor of the magic touch,
But no magician, he
Will play for you some magic notes
Instead as you will see.
So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky.
The sound of beating on the drums
From behind you hear,
And to the rhythm of guitar
We hope you'll lend an ear.
So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky
Well, the man who plays the bass does make
Those low notes that you hear.
And the high notes come from you and me
For we will sing so clear
So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky.
And together we will try

I love the way Sandy Denny doesn't follow the backing singers on the chorus. She has her own idiosyncratic phrasing, and it works.
I thought this Gypsy Tailwind at first and about tripped myself over getting to the stereo volume to crank it .
Ok, I've heard some Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span in the last few days, honestly I'm a scot and I love real folkmusic, but some stuff should be buried and forgotten. This seventies pop folk is neither fish nor flesh
6.9 ?really. What’s the median? Fairport was ahead of their time.
I think what it is: a certain genuine, authentic, pure sound.
No posing. Nothing fake. No concern about being popular.
Just making music for the sake of art. Very admirable. But impossible to sustain.

Sandy was the Christine McVie of her day.
Recorded in October/November 1969. Just incredible that this song is 54 years old. It fits right in with today's eclectic music lists.
Meanwhile where is "Sugar Sugar"? That was THE #1 song on the Hot 100 list for that year. You never hear that song these days.
Sandy Denny was worshipped by Plant and all the young rock stars of the time…

Saw Steeleye Span in London at the Hammersmith Odeon.
They left the stage and banknotes started floating down ... lots of them.
I caught enough to cover the cost of the tickets.

The sandals should be worn with socks...
The American complaint is that our beer is flat, sour and warm. On the contrary, our beer is still, bitter and served with the chill off... Drink your beer before it gets cold!
A general truth is that the beverages of the world taste best on location - the holiday purchases never live up to the memory when tried at home.
Out of respect to ScottishWillie it took us 6 months to convert four Scots students from Paisley to real ale when they were on industrial placement 'down south'. Hopefully they tried Belhaven when they went back home. That was in the '70s.

Sandy Denny's voice moves me on some deep, hidden layer.
What a great album. Immaculate.
This is the first time I have heard this - sounds like it has stood the test of time well, as I wouldn't have pegged it at 40+ years old. Really good music is timeless.

Keep waiting - maybe next year! Here's hoping. I remember the original 'Farewell' concert and the first 'reunion' one. However my excessive intake of Theakston's Old Peculiar on a hot summer day did render my powers of recall a tad hazy.Fairport's Cropredy Convention

I just love this band and have done since Unhalfbricking. Most of them live within about 15 miles of me in rural tranquillity...long may it continue. The surviving members are still active and have have an annual concert/festival at Cropredy, near Banbury UK. 
Somewhat of a stretch for Wikipedia to list Jethro Tull as an associated act, presumably because Dave Pegg played with Fairport Convention and then later played with Tull.
Until reading that Wiki I hadn't realized just how many Fairport members became Jethro Tull members. I knew Pegg had come from Fairport but not Conway, Mattacks, and Allcock. Fascinating cross pollinations.
And on this track especially it's so easy to hear how much Sandy Denny brought to Zepplin's 'Battle of Evermore'.

Between RP WFMU and deep tracks from SiriusXM I have given up completely on commercial rock radio and have become something of a music snob

The absolute definitive folk rock album, never been bettered. Classic lineup of Denny, Thompson, Hutchings, Mattacks (hero) and Swarbrick. Opening track still holds up after all these years.

Wow....last time I heard a song from thar album was 1972 when I returned to Oregon from 3 months in Europe. Thx RP
Holiday job way back in the 70s, in a factory making cakes. Spent several days stood between two conveyor belts passing cakes from one to the other and learning to sing all the words of Matty Groves in my head. Still love and play this album.
A wonderful tune from an essentially English & blooming brilliant album.

I love FC and Sandy Denny, but this is NOT their best. The rhythm is really leaden.
Picked this vinyl up at a used record store a few months back. I have really been enjoying it.
I agree with Bill, It's a classic.

Ah, the first wave of Nu-folk. This lot and Steeleye Span really brought folk to a new audience and breathed life into it, rescuing it from the middle-aged fluffy-jumper hand-over-the-ear beardie brigade. The Nu-nu-folk wave currently at its peak (Mumford & Sons, Decemberists, et al) have a lot to live up to, and I'm not sure that they do. I suspect they'll not have the staying power of Fairport Convention.

The song is fine, I suppose. I thought that it was interesting (if a little embarrassing) when it made the playlist. Unfortunately, since I listen to RP at least 12 hours/day-7 days/week I hear this one far too often.
It stands out like a cherry tomato in a bowl of ice cream. There's nothing wrong with it, but...

Amen to that. To AphidA: If you do have the technique you claim to then you should know something about the notion boober refers to. I think it's called variously 'soul', 'charisma', 'attitude', things of that sort. All of them equate to having something of interest to offer as an artist. There are plenty of uninteresting techinicians out there.

Long live Sandy Denny and FC - never got their due it seemed to me. Love this song - a 9 for me.
bill's on fire with this feminine energy tonight! haven't heard any of these songs before and I'm loving them all!
Oh yeah! Dancin' in the kitchen! One of my all time favorites.
... a perfect transition from Kate Bush - Jig of Life. I'm a first-generation Irish-American from the Irish Channel of New Orleans.
I wish RP could be at least easy on the ears. When you hears something like this, log off time.
It rocks.

I used to play this song on my college radio show back in the 70's - although I preferred 3 other cuts from it more: Tam Lin, Matty Groves, and Reynardine (personal favorite and the only one of those 3 which appears RP does not have in rotation).
That woman's voice is the worst crap around.
Last time I went to a Richard Thompson concert, during his patter he talked about Nick Drake's posthumous success and how he hoped that Sandy Denny's music would get rediscovered.
I concur.

Will someone let me know when the Fairport Convention rolls out of town? 
I was completely unaware of this band back in the 70's. Thanks, Bill for introducing it to me now.

A song that features ye olde electric guitar, a traditional folk instrument? If the rolling minstrels can't get 120 or 240 VAC, they're out of luck.
The song works well enough, though. I, for one, actually like the Sandy Denny vocals.

Whaddya know — Sandy Denny-era Fairport on RP! Looking at the other songs on the library, I'd suggest a couple of additions: A Sailor's Life, from Unhalfbricking, and She Moved Through The Fair, from What We Did On Our Holidays. This is actually just about my least favorite track from her albums with them, but a welcome listen nonetheless.
