Sandy Denny is, in my opinion, the greatest female singer / songwriter Britain has ever produced, though, if you think about it, the competition list is quite short. 'Who Knows Where the time Goes' is on this, so that would be reason enough by itself to include this album, but it also includes two great originals by Richard Thompson and some inspired Dylan covers.

Fairport Convention formed in 1967, and are still playing today. There have been many personnel changes, which has hampered their popularity and consistency (only one original member remains today). Unhalfbricking is their 3rd album, feautiring guitarist Richard Thompson, singer Sandy Denny, and fiddler Dave Swarbrick, who would be the main players in their next and greatest album, Liege And Leaf.

Unhalfbricking features 2 Thompson songs, 2 Denny songs, a traditional tune, and 3 by Bob Dylan, whom the group became enamored with after hearing the unreleased Basement Tapes. "Si Tu Dois Partir" is Dylan's "If You Gotta Go" sung in French. The album is a classic without a single weak track as Fairport were becoming England's greatest folk-rock band. You can't lose with this one.

Cool sounds on this! Si Tu Dois Partir was the best song but the guitar was great on all of them.
