Bushes & Briars
I love Sandy Denny (1947-1978). Things about Sandy Denny that I love:
1. Her voice is beautiful. Try Tam Lin or Late November or After Halloween or Who Knows Where the Time Goes (which she wrote when she was only 19).
2. She sang on The Battle of Evermore with Led Zep, a song which rules the schools (all the schools). She was the only guest singer the band ever had.
3. She was a member of the most excellent folk outfit Fairport Convention.
4. Please, she's a total fox.
5. She had her flaws and insecurities, but she was a madly talented and beautiful person. She was only 31 when she died, and she left behind a pretty incredible body of work. R.I.P. Sandy.
