Just saw that Thea Gilmore is working on an album of Sandy Denny songs (unpublished lyrics). I've always enjoyed Thea's albums, and think this will be interesting. More details here: http://sandydenny.blogspot.com/ |

I'm looking nervously at it. I'm a big fan of Thea's but I'm worried about the "unpublished lyrics" bit. Hoping it'll be good though.

Another huge fan of Thea's and her version of Dylan's John Wesley Harding album is brilliant. But, not sure her voice is right for Sandy's songs. Though with Thea's talent hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

Indeed Andy, hope that is the case as well. Pretty sure it will actually  |

I can't honestly say that I am a Thea Gilmore fan, although I have heard a couple of her albums. I find it hard to see any tie-up with Sandy's musical style and hers. Does anyone know how this came to fruition? I just don't have a good feeling about it.  |

Well it would be premature to predict the result obviously, but I don't see there has to be any tie-in between Sandy's style and Thea's. A songs a song. Like me I'm sure you have heard bad, good, and great Sandy covers and if its a whole albums worth, I'm sure the songs will fall into those 3 categories for a Sandy fan. I'm a huge Thea fan, loved her Loft Music album a couple of years ago-she had some good covers on there, though not necessarily obscure choices. For a big portion of Thea's fans I would think an album of Sandy songs would be new territory. All we can do is wait for the results in any case.

If they manage to pull in members from the 'WWDOOH' or 'L and L' lineups to back her, I might be tempted to give it a listen though!!!

Sorry to double post, but I've just thought who for me would have been the perfect choice for this project.....Natalie Merchant. That's it, I've had my say.  |

But she won't be covering any Sandy songs.  If you read the link, it clearly says that Thea has set some of Sandy's unpublished lyrics to music and recorded them. Sounds like a very interesting project to me. Track listing: 1. Glistening Bay 2. Don’t Stop Me Singing 3. Frozen Time 4. Goodnight 5. London 6. Pain In My Heart 7. Sailor 8. Long Time Gone 9. Song No. 4 10. Georgia |

Don't you just love the way people are negative about a project before they've even heard it?

Might we hear a new voice singing Sandy's part on Saturday this year ?

I doubt it. This project looks to be Thea singing her own songs, but with lyrics from Sandy, if that makes sense. It's not a cover album. |

If i wanted to hear someone sing songs like Sandy i would listen to Sandy,
Much as i love Vikki Clayton and even Chris While doing Sandy, they were very much in the style of Sandy.,phrasing even,tone etc.
It will be interesting to hear someone sing Sandy songs in an un Sandy way.
Adding my negativity i always wonder about previously unpublished stuff. If it was good it would have been performed.
Still it will be fun to find out.

I'm presuming it's lyrics that she was working on, at the time of her sad passing. |
