In 1972, Sandy Denny had just sung on a Led Zeppelin album, and her crystalline voice was charming critics and fellow musicians. But she wasn't a star yet, and it was time to change that. This lushly produced album combines the British folk-rock of her former band Fairport Convention—including Richard Thompson's lyrical guitar—with new touches, like New Orleans horns on "For Nobody to Hear" and orchestration on "The Lady." The record's most shiver-inducing moment? The sound of three Sandys singing a cappella on "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood."
