Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

Walk A While was the first Fairport Convention song I ever heard and it makes me smile to this day.
Fotheringay is magnificent.

Less obvious one, but Come All Ye works for me..great statement of intent, driving rhythm guitar/bass/percussion with concise lead work from RT and DS..it sets up the material which follows very nicely, thank you.
Also go for Now Be Thankful and from the later years, Wounded Whale, a great song for Simon to sing and one of the times the Maart/Ric line up really got to grips with the material.

Most of the above mentioned do it for me  Another one I love to hear is I'm Already There, one of Chris' finest IMHO (as of course is the sequal, Mercy Bay, but IAT definitely doesn't get played as much as I think it should). |

I'm very fond of I'm Already There too, particuarly live with Chris and Ric and their "dualling fiddles". Reminds me of a particuarly fine FC gig in the 100 Club, probably the best I've ever seen them... |

Sandy doing 'It'll Take a Long Long Time' on the Sandy album. What an opening track, and what an arrangent. It just builds and builds.

A few for starters...
'I'll keep it with mine', 'A Sailor's Life', 'Genesis Hall' and 'One More Chance'...there are many many others...and these far out weigh the ones I don't respond too very well.

Sandy Denny's "The Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood."
I only recently discovered this is the same tune as 'My Lagan Love', which I don't think Fpt ever recorded. |

'I'll keep it with mine'.
I'll add that one to my list. I think it is the finest ever version of that song and maybe the best cover of a Dylan song ever too, though it is run close by the recent Blair Dunlop & Larkin Poe recording. |

All these Sandy songs get to me instantly - but I wouldn't say they make my heart soar exactly, transport me, catch my breath, but for heart soaring how about Chelsea Morning? I defy you not to smile as you listen.

I'll add the demo version of "The Music Weaver", first released on the Island "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" boxed set. Just Sandy and a piano - perfect.

As far as solo-album Sandy compositions go, 'It Suits Me Well' stirs me like no other -- I also love Swarb's version.

Delighted to see I'll Keep It With Mine so highly regarded. For me, it's their best ever song. But it's the early stuff that still grabs me. Tale In Hard Time, Eastern Rain, Book Song, Chelsea Morning. and Ribbon Bow is another that always stops me in my tracks...
If we're talking about outside of Fairport, there are so many. My top one of all time has to be Substitute.

I think it is the finest ever version of that song and maybe the best cover of a Dylan song ever too, though it is run close by the recent Blair Dunlop & Larkin Poe recording. The version with Fairport at Cropredy a few years ago was incredible, as was Percy's Song, which would probably go on my list too. |

I was at a Brian Jonestown Massacre concert a few years ago in a fairly small dingy venue in Liverpool. Before they came on there was a selection of 60's psych tracks playing over the PA, one of which was Tale In Hard Time (one of my fave tracks from my favourite Fairport album), played very loud and possibly speeded up very slightly. That made my heart soar. BJM were great too.

Walk a while was the first non Ashley, Sandy song I heard and even though the vocals sounded a bit uncertain I loved it immediately. Fotheringay is a great song, listened to it a lot lately. |
