Nearby Posts I was enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon writing up a couple Breaking News of interviews when a delivery driver dropped of a box Entertainment« CD Review: Jumper News Original Motion Picture Score,containing by John Powell 37 DVD’s and CD’s for review! In the box was Larry Sinclair-Obama: Obama Supporters Circulating Fake WashPo Story? » Book, Movie and the new Voiceprint DVD of a Fairport Convention gig from Album Reviews 1970. It took less than 90 seconds to get the wrapping off US Politics and have the DVD running in my portable player! World Politics Fairport Convention have been in existence since 1967, so Full Category 40 years in the industry, yes they have gone through dozens of lineup changes, and pretty much everyone who is anyone in the British folk List business has played with Fairport at some point in their career. 2006 Election The 1970 lineup features very much the backbone of the band for many years. Coverage (222) Richard Thompson, often credited as the glue, though unlike most bands 2008 Election Fairport Coverage (763) really has no leader, they are all committed and enthusiastic musicians. Anyway Abortion (70) Richard handles a lot of the lead vocals and plays guitar. Dave Swarbrick, who African News (805) is probably the best traditional fiddle player in the past 40 years also helps out Alabama News (18) with vocals, and has a very unique and enjoyable style. Dave Pegg also chips in Alaska News (21) with vocals and plays Bass Guitar and Mandolin. Dave Mattacks handles the All News (11456) drums, and, then, newcomer to the lineup (as I recall, but it was 37 years ago!) Simon Nichols handles Guitar and electric dulcimer (a wonderful instrument). Archeology & Antiquities News Fairport Convention and another British band Steeleye Span created the genre (32) Electric Folk, and between them they completely revitalized the then flagging Arizona News (119) folk music industry. Arkansas News (37) Asian News (767) Also featured on the DVD is an all too brief set from Matthews Southern Australia News (169) Comfort Automotive News (although not featured on this DVD they are the band that had the absolute (58) smash hit with the Joni Mitchel song ‘Woodstock’). Baseball News (61) The Fairport set includes the knockout Now Be Thankful. The DVD is worth Basketball News owning just for that one track! (10) Blogosphere News As a bonus the master and doyen of all things progressive in the music world, (1251) John Peel offers a voice over introduction. Book Reviews (431) Breaking News I cannot recommend this one enough. And if anyone from Voiceprint or MVD (2183) are reading this, lets have more of this kind of DVD, this is music at its best, and Business News (782) played by masters of the art. California News (199) You can get your own copy (because you would have to pry my copy from my dead, cold, and stiff fingers) from MVD. Canada News (273) 1 of 1 2/29/2008 1:02 PM C l b it N.

  • SANDY DENNY UNDER REVIEW: an Independent Critical Analysis, Limited Collectors Edition
    SANDY DENNY UNDER REVIEW: An Independent Critical Analysis, Limited Collectors Edition The difference between a critical analysis of {$Sandy Denny} or {$The Velvet Underground} and {$The Rolling Stones} is that with a lot less information available on this extraordinary singer the audience is more limited. The good news is that this edition of the "Under Review" series actually lives up to the documentary status it claims, and does, indeed, hold one's attention and inform better than the {^Green Day: Under Review 1995-2000 The Middle Years}, which is basically a bunch of critics blowing lots of hot air. It seems with these "DVD/Fanzine" type commentaries that the lesser known the subject matter, the better the critique. Denny is a singer that deserves so much more acclaim and study, and this is an excellent starting point, as is the {$Kate Bush} "Under Review", and even the {$David Bowie} {^Under Review 1976-79 Berlin} analysis which concentrates on his dark but fun period. {$Fairport Convention} fiddler {$Dave Swarbrick}, journeyman {$Martin Carthy}, {$Cat Stevens} drummer {$Gerry Conway} of Denny's band, {$Fotheringay} and {$Pentangle}'s {$John Renbourn} contribute as does {$Fairport Convention} biographer {$Patrick Humphries}. That's the extra effort missing in some of these packages which makes this close to two hour presentation all the more interesting. Perhaps more important than the very decent {$Kate Bush} analysis by the {^Under Review} team, there's a "Limited Collector's Edition" with a cardboard slipcover. It's a very classy presentation and a very important history that deserves shelf space in any good library.

To decline under such circum- stances, he said, would have been “snotty.” Don’t More importantly, he conceives of his MBE as recognition he shares with the whole Call Me folk scene. “I’ve been put at the front of a very, very long queue of people who work hard to make a folk revival and a folk scene,” he said. Sir! “All those people who organized clubs for nothing and paid you out of their own pocket, and fed you and put you on the train the next morning, and put you to bed when you were drunk! What [the government is] doing, is taking notice of the fact that something’s going on for the last more than 40 years. It’s called the folk revival. They’ve ignored it for that long. And someone has suddenly taken notice, and that’s okay. A bit of profile isn’t gonna hurt us — and I say us, the plural, for the folk scene — isn’t gonna hurt us at all.” In the same year as Carthy’s moment of recognition, something happened that did hurt the folk scene. Lal Waterson, Carthy’s sister-in- law, bandmate, near neighbor and close friend, died of cancer.

  • Sandy Denny: Under Review (Sexy Intellectual Production)
    Sandy Denny: Under Review (Sexy Intellectual Production) This one’s kind of skimpy on the archival footage (often the filmmakers choose to craft impressionistic film collages for songs to compensate), but there is such a dearth of information around about Sandy Denny, easily one of the most mesmeric singers of all time, that I consider this disc absolutely crucial. Fairport Convention vocalist Denny was a tragic folk heroine plagued by insecurity—she never felt comfortable as an artist in the spotlight, preferring to have a band she could lose herself in, (check out her song “Solo” for her lyrical take) — who was nonetheless blessed with a remarkably penetrating voice and superior songwriting talent. (She’s the only “guest vocalist” to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin record, on the Middle-earthy “Battle of Evermore.”) The disc capably illuminates Denny as an artist worthy of rabid cult status, who died under sad circumstances (she fell down a flight of stairs, eventually sinking into a coma), but who was hugely influential on the English folk scene, revered by everyone who knew or played with her. Minor gripe: The commentary by former bandmate Dave Swarbrick is largely garbled, but it appears that this is the way he actually talks—what are you gonna do? A cursory listen to Fairport’s “What We Did On Our Holidays” or “Liege and Lief” should convince anyone with a pair of working ears that the emotionally fragile Denny, with her wounded angel’s voice, was one in a zillion. Natch, the doc glosses over the more unsavory aspects of her character (she could be abusive and her drinking probably contributed to her tumble), but no matter.

  • WILSON & SWARBRICK “Lion Rampant” (Shirty Records
    WILSON & SWARBRICK “Lion Rampant” (Shirty Records) Reviewed by Michael Hunter http://rootsandbranchesaustralia.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/cd-review-wilson-swarbrick-lion-rampant/ I’m afraid I must start with a controversial statement – this is an album of no great surprises. Quite predictable, in fact. Please let me explain, though… When two acknowledged “masters of their game” come together, you just know it’s going to be intriguing. Jason Wilson, Canadian reggae star, and Dave Swarbrick, legend of English folk and folk rock have played live and recorded the occasional track together before, but now present their first full-length album, in the form of ‘Lion Rampant’. They both care about the music they play, be it their usual style or as here, an amalgamation of the two and then some. So you see, it’s predictably high quality, well-produced music with intelligently considered arrangements. The collection of guests that help out on various tracks do nothing but add to the listening experience as well. No shocks there either. Although the recording locations are spread throughout the world – for example, Swarbrick, Jerry Donahue, Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick recorded at Swarb’s studio in Coventry / Pee Wee Ellis (ex-James Brown and Van Morrison saxophonist) in Bristol, and The Bevvy Sisters in a Scottish studio – the overall sound quality works together so well that a listener would be unlikely to pick any difference in tone or fidelity. It’s all just so predic… Actually, I don’t think I can carry this “predictability” shtick any further! This s a great album, that despite combining what some may consider music from disparate cultures, works entirely as its own concept.
