Customer Reviews:

A very nice listening experience for Sandy Denny fans........2005-06-27

`Who Knows Where the Time Goes' is a 3 CD collection of material from various phases of Sandy Denny's career, beginning with The Strawbs in the last third of the 1960s, followed by four albums with Fairport Convention with Richard Thompson, then her own group, Fotheringay and solo appearances. She died (I believe, by suicide) in 1978 and is still fondly remembered, especially for her Fairport Convention work and the title song of this collection.

One only has to look at Joni Mitchell's career to imagine what Sandy Denny could have done in the last 27 years. Instead, we have one great song, a few very good songs, and a body of very talented vocals comparable to Mitchell in power, if not quite up to Joan Baez in purity of sound.

While this album is something of an historical collection, including several previously unreleased cuts, the music on its three CDs is organized more for pleasant listening than for tracking the artist's career chronologically. There is a nice mix of traditional songs, Sandy Denny compositions, and compositions by other modern songwriters such as Bob Dylan (`Knockin' On Heaven's Door') and Richard Thompson.

The value of this album is based a lot on how many other albums you have with Sandy Denny performances. If you have all her Fairport Convention and Fotheringay recordings, you will get a lot of overlap. If you have none of these, or at least have none on CD, and Sandy Denny is what you like best about Fairport Convention, then this album is a pretty good buy. If you are unsure of how much you like Sandy Denny, then I strongly suggest you get Fairport Convention's `Unhalfbricking' first, as it has her best performance of her signature song, which is the title of this album.

Essential.......2002-04-10

First, one minor caveat (and the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars rated). A few of her most popular songs here do not appear in their classic form, most notably the title track, in a live version, not Fairport's studio version. It's especially confusing if you are coming to this set from the rykodisc Best of collection, which has all tracks in studio versions, but seems to be a one-disc condensation of "Who Knows". I don't want to give this too much weight, however. The collection is full of rare and wonderful delights, and any Kate Rusby, Loreena Mckennitt, or even Natalie Merchant fan should check it out, Sandy Denny was the template for all anglo (and anglophile) folk rock women singers who followed. I'm not sure there was even such a category before her. And how many other women have sung with both The Who and Led Zeppelin?

Sandy, Earthangel.......2000-11-05

While many will remember her as the soaring voice in Led Zep's "Battle of Evermore" (which was my unexpected introduction to her as well), Sandy Denny's best works were in her self-penned songs. This is the very best compilation of her work and at a very good price. A voice of truly timeless beauty...

A FITTING RETROSPECTIVE TO ONE OF THE GREATS.......2000-06-20

Sandy remains in my mind, nearly as influential as Joni Mitchell. She wrote her own wonderfull material, as well as doing incredible interpretations of traditional folk songs of the British Isles. She could also rock with the best of them, though she rarely did. There are quite a few tracks here that I hadn't heard prior to listening to this. Some are somewhat muddy sounding live recordings and yes, there are a few tracks that seem conspicuously absent, but these are minor qualms. I have to agree that she possessed one of those rare voices that could send shivers up your spine. "Now And Then" is a prime example of the way another reviewer descibed her ability to adorn her vocal phrasing with such difficult ornaments, and yet make it sound as nartual as breathing itself. She had the abilty to convey sadness with an inner strength like nobody ever did before or has been able to do since.

Will never be forgotten.......2000-05-28

Having listened once again to this instantly recognizable voice, feeling the shivers up and down the spine, it becomes obvious: Excellent female vocalists abound, singing excellent songs. But there was only one Sandy Denny. And the expression she formed, well documented in this compilation, sounds stronger, deeper and more relevant now than ever. All this talk about morbid death cults of Sandy Denny and Nick Drake misses the mark: They were, and are, irreplacable. Deeply missed - all the more privileged we are to have a documentation of what we lost in Sandy Denny, and the opportunity to let this voice tug at heart strings, over and over again.
