Omit Grapevine" The Grapevine song, while perhaps fun, is jarring & out of place -- otherwise I'd give the album 5 stars. This album, with such great songs as "John Gaudie", "Wishfulness Waltz" and "Dangerous," is marred by the inclusion of "Heard It Through the Grapevine.
30 years on, Fairport is better than ever
This recording kicks off with a tune by Chris Leslie, John Guadie that is lively and lots of fun. This 1997 recording of the chaps is fantastic! The songs are well chosen and played as only the kings of British folk-rock can. With two fiddle players as Ric Sanders and Chris Leslie and great vocals and guitar played by Simon Nicol, songs such as the wonderful Sailing Boat and Fairport's version of Jethro Tull's; Life's a long song make this a very good addition to your music library. The CD closes with the band's version of heard it through the grapevine sung by Richard Thompson at Cropredy 95 and the classic Sandy Denny tune Who knows where the time goes. This is a fantastic disc and if you enjoy great music played by a great band (see them live!) don't pass this up.
