Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A surprisingly good album!.......2002-08-23

On the face of it, this is either an act of heroism or foolheartiness -- a tribute to a figure so iconic and universally lionized that following in her footsteps would seem to invite the sort derision that only the truest true believers can heap upon one another. But Vikki Clayton, who has filled in the "Sandy Denny role" at many a Fairport Convention concert, is quite up to the task. She opens this album with Denny's signature tune, "Who Knows Where The Time Goes," in sort of a throwdown to any potential detractors, and as on several other songs, her rich, confident vocals and understated arrangements carry the day. There are a few iffy touches, mainly in the electric filters and effects added to the bass and guitar, but overall this is a pretty strong record. Clayton herself is quite lovely to listen to. Devoted Fairport fans, doubtless primed to be weigh in against this album, should really try to approach it with an open mind... it's pretty good.
