At long long last Sandy is being widely heard and new people coming to love her music, and the same should happen for Trevor.

one of my favorites from the Attic Tracks... he was a great and underrated singer, and I hope one day Georgia Lucas will get to appreciate how much Sandy and Trevor meant to us all and still means to us.

WOW... have to add this to my collection of Dylan songs... I discovered Sandy Denny and this group back in 1980... and still can't get enough...

Great song written by Bob Dylan and a superb version by the great Fairport Convention with the wonderful Sandy Denny and her husband Trevor Lucas both so sadly missed R.I.P. MY FRIENDS.

Sandy underrated her wonderful voice and inflections. She wrote some great songs. Joni Mitchell is so famous and well-regarded that no one will object if I say I prefer Sandy's contained voice and thoughtful lyrics to Joni's voice and lyrics. Jazz muscians record Joni's songs so she's doing OK critically. The lyrics of Sandy, Fairport and most folk songs are those of senstive honest people and are the voice of those who don't benefit from unfair economic systems.

i won't object,with the exception of big yellow taxi and i met you on a midway and clouds (possibly a couple of others i will remember later) Joni is a dreadful singer.I loved her when very young but only becaue i had yet to discover Janis,and i didn't discover Sandy until i was in my early 30s.Many artists are better songwriters than they are singers.With age,Jonis voice has deepened to such a degree that i heard her somewhere and thought it was a man singing her song,until corrected.Sandy had such an emotive quality to her singing aswell as the sheer beauty of her voice itself.Very rare and very special.People these days do not know how to sing,believing eroneously that the louder and more you oversing the better singer you will be seen as,it's just horrid..hence all my favourite singers are dead.
