Music reviews of Unhalfbricking
Music Review: Something I wish I had discovered long ago!
Rating: 5 Stars
It is unfortunate that most of the music on the air during the 60's where I lived was mainstream top 40 music. Only in the early 70's did one station appear in my area that called itself "an underground" station. They often played music of The Grateful Dead and other San Francisco bands that listeners seldom heard in this corner of the West. The station's format had fewer commercials, and they played more "album rock." But I never had a chance to hear Fairport Convention. I loved the Judy Collins cover of "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" without knowing that she didn't write it. When I heard Sandy Denny's original for the first time in June of '08, I had to have this CD. This song is hauntingly beautiful and the guitar work is superb. The rest of the album is also peaceful. Each song has this folk quality that few groups successfully achieve. And the guitar work on the entire album often reminds me of early Jefferson Airplane, before some of their members lost their edge and departed to continue other projects. All of the songs on this CD are sophisticated and thought-provoking. It is remarkable--a must have for anyone who really has a passion for music and loves something that brings you peace.
Description of Unhalfbricking
Remastered reissue of third album, originally released in 1969, includes two bonus tracks, 'Dear Landlord', 'The Ballad Of Easy Rider', & a slipcase with the first pressing. Includes sleevenotes by co-founder Ashley Hutchings. 10 tracks. Universal Island. 2003.Fairport Convention was the most accomplished band in the late-'60s British folk-rock scene, and a combination of musical passion and whimsy makes Unhalfbricking one of its very best albums. Fairport's standout members were singer Sandy Denny and guitarist Richard Thompson. Both shine on Denny's haunting "Autopsy," with its sinuously melancholy melody making a perfect bed for a Thompson guitar solo. Denny shines on her most famous composition, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," which was quickly covered by Judy Collins. Denny and Thompson each contribute two songs to an album that includes three Bob Dylan songs, including joyful spins on "Million Dollar Bash" and "Si Tu Dois Partir," that conjure up a moment when bands didn't think about losing publishing income as much as how to best maximize the fun of playing music. --John Milward
