Sadly, the black rectangles have returned to spoil this track - I'd love to be able to see what people have recommended on here when they haven't added any explanatory text..
Quite a rare album now, I believe - hope I've still got my copy somewhere! Retrospectively released when both the Strawbs and Denny were big names, five or six years after it was recorded (and rejected!) Earliest known recording (second track in) of 18 year old Sandy Denny singing her own song...
Never heard of Cara Dillon before. Sweet little voice, very nice; nowhere near the crystal clarity of Denny's vocals, though, or her range. She had a wide repertoire - as well as being an excellent pianist, acoustic guitarist and song-writer.

My god, there's some awful screechers listed on here! Especially some of the more recent names - and trouble is, women doing karaoki (sp?) all seem to think they can do the same, and that it sounds good. It doesn't.
Sandy Denny on the other hand...
