It's not often that box sets like this come along; 19cds from the recordings made by the UK's finest folk singer; Sandy Denny. The set is, essentially, in two parts. The first is made up of all of her studio recordings with added bonus tracks and the second is made up entirely of outtakes, demos, rarities and live recordings. Sandy Denny and Schubert OUPblog I have written elsewhere about how music, in a way that spoken language rarely does, can affect arousal, stimulate our emotions and memories, and move our bodies. It can even subtly alter our physiological state, both internally by altering heart rate, levels of hormones and so on, and externally –.
- Let's go back to disc 1. Here we get Joe Boyd reminiscing about the band he 'discovered' in the swinging Sixties, followed by a fiery set from most of the original Fairport lineup (minus Iain Matthews). Vikki Clayton fills in for the late Sandy Denny on this disc; it's a thankless task, but she tackles it with enthusiasm.

For about a year, Ian Matthews and Sandy Denny shared the lead vocal duties with the British group Fairport Convention and were both instrumental in the recording of one of the true masterpieces of '60s folk-rock, 1969's What We Did on Our Holidays. Matthews left the band before their next album, moving on to his own career, while Denny stayed for two more records, reuniting with Matthews on his 1971 effort If You Saw Thro' My Eyes. Nearly 30 years later, Matthews, along with guitarist Jim Fogarty, singer Lindsay Gilmour, bassist Walt Rich, and drummer Roger Cox, under the name No Grey Faith, pays tribute to the music of his late ex-bandmate with Secrets All Told (The Songs of Sandy Denny). The record understandably concentrates on Denny's post-Fairport work, considering that they recorded just four of her tunes during her first stint with the band, though there are acknowledgments -- instrumental and vocal intros and interludes -- to her signature song, 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes,' along with Matthews' take on Unhalfbricking's 'Autopsy.' And though the selections are good ones, the difficulty with a project such as this is that you're dealing with a songwriter who was also a great singer, and whose voice is nearly inseparable from the material. That said, Matthews and Gilmour, who has a lovely, Joan Baez quality, do an admirable job, though it's tough hearing another female voice doing these songs without unfair comparisons. Gilmour is brave to try, and does a nice enough job, though her pristine folkiness occasionally betrays some of the more delicate qualities in Denny's writing. It's a bit easier to accept Matthews' vocal, which suits his choices quite well. His cuts, especially, 'Rising for the Moon' and 'Bushes and Briars,' are as successful as you could hope, which is a testament, not only to his voice, but to his understanding of Denny's material. Matthews has always had a reputation for his tasteful, but distinctive interpretations of others' work, and the band's acoustic-based arrangements here, for the most part, have that same mix of reverence and personality. Secrets All Told, which is available from his Perfect Pitch label, is recommended to fans of Ian Matthews, but Sandy Denny devotees should also be pleased with this loving tribute.

Sandy Denny was an English singer-songwriter, best known for her role as lead singer for folk-rock band Fairport Convention.Sandy Denny was born and raised in London, and studied classical piano as a child. During the 60s she began singing folk music, and performed in various London folk clubs. She appeared on BBC television in 1966, performing two traditional songs. She became known for her distinctive clear, powerful voice, and made some recordings for Saga Records in 1967 (they appeared on the albums Alex Campbell And His Friends and Sandy and Johnny, an LP shared with folk singer Johnny Silvo). She then joined The Strawbs, and recorded an entire album with them which was never released, before leaving. She also managed to get her own composition 'Who Knows Where The Times Goes' recorded by American folk singer Judy Collins.
1968 was the year she joined folk-rock group Fairport Convention, who had already recorded one album. She replaced original singer Judy Dyble. With Denny on board they released three brilliant albums in 1969, and with each one they became more and more emersed in traditional English folk material, resulting in their masterpiece Liege & Lief, generally considered the most important album of English folk-rock. It was then, at the height of their success, that Denny left. She started a new band in 1970, Fotheringay, which followed a similar style but focused more on her songwriting as well as her piano playing. They did not last long, and broke up after releasing one classic album.
She then began her solo career. Her debut, The North Star Grassman & The Ravens, came out in 1971. It was an excellent album, showcasing her broad range of folk-rock styles, from traditional English material to more American-sounding numbers with hints of blues and country (among them a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Down In The Flood'). Among the backing musicians were featured all her past bandmates from Fotheringay, and Richard Thompson of Fairport, plus American pedal steel guitarist Buddy Emmons. A couple of songs had string arrangements.
Most importantly this album proved her worth as an independent singer-songwriter without the need of a band. All but three of the songs were her own compositions.
