COMPLETE ROOTS Series.
20 Folk, Blues, Jazz And Country Songs That Inspired Britain’s Late, Lamented Folk Icons.
There are several reasons why Sandy Denny is often mentioned in the same breath as Nick Drake. They recorded for the same record label (Island) at the same time, they were both involved with Joe Boyd’s Witchseason production and management company, both had beautiful voices capable of great delicacy and emotion, both wrote great songs and, sadly, both died tragically young. Alexandra Elene Maclean Denny was born in Wimbledon on January 6th 1947. She learned guitar from an early age and also played piano and sang. Whilst studying to be a nurse in the mid ‘60s she began to gain a reputation in the London folk clubs with a repertoire based on the then emerging new breed of singer/songwriter such as Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton. Sandy began to experiment with songs of her own and soon joined The Strawbs with whom she recorded All Our Own Work in 1967. This album included the song with which Sandy’s name is most associated ''Who Knows Where The Time Goes''. The song gained a wider audience after being covered by Judy Collins (the inspiration for Crosby Stills and Nash’s ''Suite Judy Blue Eyes'') in 1968. In 1968 Sandy replaced Judy Dyble in Fairport Convention (whose bass player Ashley Hutchings is credited with ‘discovering’ Nick Drake at a Roundhouse gig) and went on to record three classic albums with them : What We Did On Our Holidays, Unhalfbricking, and Liege & Lief, the second of which includes what has become considered the definitive version of ''Who Knows Where the Time Goes''. Sandy left Fairport in 1970 and formed the short-lived Fotheringay with future husband Trevor Lucas. With one album released and a second in progress the band split and Sandy went on to sign a solo deal with Island resulting in the albums The North Star Grassman and the Ravens And Sandy. Around this time she also gained the distinction of becoming the only guest vocalist ever to record with Led Zeppelin when Robert Plant asked her to appear on ''The Battle of Evermore'' on the band’s fourth album. Sandy rejoined Fairport Convention briefly in the mid ‘70s but without the success or critical acclaim of her earlier work with them. Sandy Denny died on April 24th 1978 from injuries sustained after a fall down a flight of stairs at her parents’ house in Cornwall. Nicholas Rodney Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter known for his acoustic guitar-based songs. He did not find a wide audience during his lifetime, but his work gradually achieved wider notice and recognition. Nick Drake recorded just three full-length albums during his career - Five Leaves Left in 1969, Bryter Layter in 1970, and finally Pink Moon in 1972. None of them sold more than a few thousand copies at the time and this may have contributed to Nick's increasing mental problems. After Pink Moon, Nick became deeply depressed and increasingly introverted. His parents became worried and sought professional help and he was prescribed anti-depressants. He died at his parents' home in the early hours of Monday, 25th November 1974. It is uncertain if his death was by suicide (the official verdict) or an accidental overdose of the prescribed and/or recreational drugs. Over the years Drake's popularity has steadily increased, with more of his albums sold in 2004 than in any previous year. For any fans of two great musical talents who are no longer with us this is an excellent collection of top notch folk offerings which inspired them. Great to work out how they influenced Nick Drake and Sandy Denny and which songs inspired which of them.
