Don't Stop Singing

Nu slechts € 24,50 Widely regarded as one of the most important folk-rock singers of her generation, former Fairport Convention vocalist Sandy Denny's solo back catalogue appeared destined to consist of just four studio albums following her untimely death from a brain haemorrhage at the age of thirty-one. However, due to the discovery of 20 sets of unrecorded lyrics by writer/artist Phil Smee (who was granted access to a treasure trove of manuscripts and notebooks for a BBC boxset), her small but influential canon of work has now been unexpectedly added to thirty-three years on. Issued with the responsibility of setting her highly personal words to music is British singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore, a long-time admirer who has often been compared to the late troubled star, and as evident on 2004 covers album Loft Music and her recent track-by-track interpretation of Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding, has plenty of experience performing other artists' work. It's an inspired match-up. Assisted by regular producer Nigel Stonier, Gilmore avoids the temptation to plant the poetic lyrics into a contemporary setting and instead serves up ten timeless folk-rock arrangements which could well have been composed by Denny herself. The heart-breaking balladry of ''Song No.4'' (''I'm in such a terrible state/and my country's just like me'') and the eerie chamber folk of ''Pain In My Heart'' superbly reflect Denny's apparent demon-battling frame of mind; ''Georgia'' is a beautifully poignant lullaby to the daughter she would tragically never get to know; while the lushly orchestrated opener ''Glistening Boy,'' the rousing country-swing of the title track and the upbeat Celtic-tinged ode to homesickness, ''London,'' would all have comfortably fit onto her 1977 swansong, Rendezvous. Far from tainting Denny's legacy, Don't Stop Singing is a unique and affectionate eulogy which helps to build upon it even further. ~ Jon O'Brien
