Title: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Jules Gray on January 19, 2007, 09:14:04 AM Hi all
Does anyone here know who plays what on the individual tracks on the Old Fashioned Waltz album? In the booklet of the Boxful of Treasures set, Dave Pegg talks about recording the song with DM and Richard Thompson overdubbing later. The personnel listing for Solo, on the other hand, credits the members of Fotheringay as playing o nthe track (Jerry, Trevor, Gerry and Pat are all listed, plus other musicians). So who's right? Peggy or whoever compiled the personnel details? Jules Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Big Dave on January 19, 2007, 02:37:26 PM I would have said (without checking I must add!)
Dave Mattacks, Pat Donaldson, Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue (?) Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Jules Gray on January 19, 2007, 03:31:06 PM So Big Dave's going for a third possible combination.
The fog hasn't lifted...it's just become thicker! ??? Jules Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Big Dave on January 19, 2007, 04:04:28 PM I serve to confuse!

Bass: Pretty sure this is Peggy Guitar: Listening to the guitar solo, I'd say this definitely sounds more like RT than Jerry (though I've never asked any of them). Trev's probably in there somewhere and also Rabbit on some keyboards, I'd say. My guess - nothing more. T-R Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Squiggle on January 20, 2007, 11:52:43 AM On the vinyl box set of Who Knows Where the Time Goes there is a live version of Solo which may give you some clues: Jerry Donahue, lead guitar; Trevor Lucas, rhythm; Swarb, violin; Sandy, piano; Peggy, bass and DM, drums.
Whispering Grass is from the original and lists Diz Disley on guitar, Ian Armit, piano; Danny Thompson , bass and DM, drums. Friends: Jerry D, lead; Trevor, rhythm; SD, piano; Pat Donaldson, Bass; DM, drums. Jan Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Jules Gray on January 21, 2007, 06:31:27 PM Cheers guys!
Jules Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: BPTNT on January 24, 2007, 02:42:01 PM The lead on the studio version of 'Solo' is definitely RT; Jerry Donahue plays the lead guitar on the rest of the album though (bar the two jazzy Inkspots tunes).
Title: Re: Sandy Denny's "Solo" - who plays? Post by: Jules Gray on January 24, 2007, 02:58:19 PM Thanks again. I reckon I've got a good ear but I'm so impressed by both RT and JD that I sometimes can't tell them apart. Same with DM and GC.
