- Better late than never
Spotted in a bookshop in Bakewell, Derbyshire. There wasn't a "2" was there? So I bought it. And it's hardly been off in the car since. I agree with other reviewers that not every song here is a gem, but the Lucas numbers do have something that stirs the sentiments. (You who said he wasn't a great songwriter, I present exhibit A - "Bring 'em Down" on Fairport 9). It's true though that it's the Denny tracks that really stir the soul. Her remarkable ability to interpret a song never disappoints on ... Read More
Rating: - flawed but still a must-buy
The unexpected release of this CD is undoubtedly the folk event of 2008. It's a throwback to an idyllic time when folk music was inventive and exciting unlike the sterile unimaginative stuff of the last 30 years - Eliza Carthy and the sadly defunct 18th Day of May being honourable exceptions.Buy it? Of course buy it.
There are negatives. Some of the tracks will be already familiar to us all - "John the Gun" and "Late November" feature on Sandy's magical "Northstar Grassman" album. The Strawbs ... Read More

- Tyme to move the mountains back where they belong
Sandy Denny's demo of 'Wild Mountain Tyme' that I heard on Youtube recently is one of the most beautiful renditions of a traditional folk ballad I have ever heard. I could not wait to hear it in pristine condition on 'Fotheringay 2'. Jerry Donahue and the guys have done a fine job of adding some beautiful instrumentation to the track but..shock horror...it is ruined when a deep male voice harmonises under Sandy's voice. I could not believe it, as a track that had a sound conjuring beautiful Gaelic ... Read More

Fotheringay Vol.2
First, this is not an unfinished album, but the collection of leftovers from BBC sessions, not "originally recorded at Sound Techniques" as quoted, at least most of the tracks weren't. "John The Gun" was from November 1970 BBC, but with recently overdubbed sax(?!) in the vain of similarly tempered "Gold Dust" concert where, apart from Sandy's voice, just the bits were from the original concert. "Eppy Moray" and wonderful "Wild Mountain Thyme" were the versions from BBC ... Read More
Rating: - Raking over the ashes
I don't think this was worth doing, although Sandy Denny had a wonderful voice there isn't much here than will bear repeated listening. Silver Threads and Golden Needles gains nothing from a dirge-like tempo, it is a country song; Trevor Lucas's voice really sets my teeth on edge and the vaunted sax solo has too many technical deficiencies. I suppose what I am trying to say is enjoy Sandy in her prime with Fairport, not this second rate pastiche. And surely she knew that Fotheringhay isn't in Scotland!
