Radio program "Psyche van het Folk", Radio Centraal, Antwerpen,
Second week of april 2001 in remembrance of Sandy Denny,
in cooperation with radio program "Mark & the Woolfeman"
Saga Sandy & Johnny (1967)
Not recommended at all. Half the album is a Johhny Silver. The mixture of both artists is awful.
We don't have that album although there are nice tracks from Sandy on it.The massacred songs are on the Original Sandy Denny CD. The few good sversions of these ongs are still not reissued on cd yet.
* Interview with John Renbourne about Sandy 3 min
B&G

This the most appreciated album from Fairport. Folkrock. Although this migt have made folk
music more popular through this folkrock style and good musicians I perticularly never liked it
so much except for Sandy Denny's influence in it. I prefer more acid or fusion or original
songwriting in song and that'shy I prefer Pentangle above Fairport for instance. I do have a
fusion radio program, not folk.
