Comment:

A while back I did this mix, "Sandy", knowing only little of Sandy's work. In the meantime I got hold of almost all her available releases, and her music fascinates me more and more.
I made this new mix in order to introduce a friend to her music. This is what I'd call a "Best of", though it's hard to pick the best tracks, regarding the lots of different and various songs. So I focused on Sandy's own work (with one exception, the traditional "Blackwaterside), tried to choose the (in my opinion) best songs and put them in roughly chronological order. Nevertheless, this is not a quarter as good and comprehensive as Sandy's anthology "No More Sad Refrains", but that best of consists of two CDs, and even on them some of her best efforts are missing ;-)
I would highly recommend Sandy Denny to anyone who likes singer/songwriter music. I think it's a pity she is so little known nowadays, her music needs to be rediscovered.

Excellent selections, though I'd be tempted to add Fairport's "I'll Keep It with Mine" -one of my favourite Dylan covers ever

Great. You beat me to the punch (I've been planning on doing one of these for a long time, but haven't gotten around to it).

I haven't heard a lot of Sandy Denny but everything I have heard
has made me want to hear more. Any chance I could trade you something for this?
