Review
Fairport Convention was the most accomplished band in the late-'60s British folk-rock scene, and a combination of musical passion and whimsy makes Unhalfbricking one of its very best albums. Fairport's standout members were singer Sandy Denny and guitarist Richard Thompson. Both shine on Denny's haunting "Autopsy," with its sinuously melancholy melody making a perfect bed for a Thompson guitar solo. Denny shines on her most famous composition, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," which was quickly covered by Judy Collins. Denny and Thompson each contribute two songs to an album that includes three Bob Dylan songs, including joyful spins on "Million Dollar Bash" and "Si Tu Dois Partir," that conjure up a moment when bands didn't think about losing publishing income as much as how to best maximize the fun of playing music. --John MilwardRemastered reissue of third album, originally released in 1969, includes two bonus tracks, 'Dear Landlord', 'The Ballad Of Easy Rider', & a slipcase with the first pressing. Includes sleevenotes by co-founder Ashley Hutchings. 10 tracks. Universal Island. 2003. Fairport's Third Album was Given the Indecipherable Title by Sandy Denny During an Hilarious Word-game in the Group Van. The Album is Varied in Style and Content, Yet Somehow this Time More Unified. Here, in Reality, and Now in Legend, is the First Bold Step in to the Hitherto Unfathomed Waters of British Folk-rock, Or Electric-folk. Of the Guests Musicians, Fiddler Dave Swarbrick is the Most Influential and it Now Seems Hard to Believe that He was Just a Session Musician and Not an Integral Part of the Band. His Playful Violin on "si Tu Dois Partir" is an Essential Ingredient in the Daft Infectiousness of that Track. This Digitally Remastered Version of the Album Includes Two Bonus Tracks: A Cover of Dylan's "Dear Landlord", an Out-take from the "Unhalfbricking" Sessions and a Cover of Dylan and Roger Mcguinn's "Ballad of Easy Rider", Recorded During the Sessions for "Liege and Lief", but Fit Better Here.
