3.0 out of 5 stars Patchy perhaps but - oh! those Sandy Denny songs 10 Aug 2007
Format:Audio CD
By the time Sandy Denny returned to the fold for this album, Richard Thompson had left and Dave Swarbrick had become the focus for the Fairport sound. Consequently, there's a feeling that occasionally the vision of Denny and Swarb clashed on this album and the whole fails to hang together, with some songs like 'Night-time girl' sounding lightweight and hideously like fillers.

Denny's husband Trevor Lucas chips in with some good railroad type songs to keep the album moving but, when Sandy Denny starts singing her own songs, then everything falls into focus and you can forgive the band anything as then this album sounds as good as anything the 'classic' Fairport line-up produced. The title track is superb, and is complemented by the haunting 'Stranger to himself' but the highlight is the glorious 'One More Chance' 'Chance' is a simply gorgeous song, not only one of Denny's finest but a song to be rated up there with the very best.

To be honest it's worth buying for that song alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars thoroughly enjoyable 14 Mar 2006
By C J
Format:Audio CD
After the Liege and Leaf album Sandy Denny left the band to join Fotheringay, who made one album. Then after a few solo LPs she rejoined Fairport Convention, in 1974, and before she left the band, again, 1 album was recorded, this one.

Now I have heard this album described as "disappointing" but anyone who writes that was probably expecting another masterpiece. If you expect that you are likely to be disappointed too.

But this album is thoroughly enjoyable, esp. the title track. Sandy's Vocals are of their usual high quality.

Any Fairport Convention fan should buy this album.

Format:Audio CD
This is a fine album, although not in the same spirit as their earlier efforts such as "What we did on our Holidays'and 'Liege and Lief'. This is an album that will appeal mostly who like their folk with a heavy progressive rock element. The soaring arrangements on the Sandy heavy tracks makes it a perfect album for those who like their spirits lifted. For me the non Sandy tracks are quite dull by comparison and really belong on another album. Someone once said that this was three solo albums on one disc. I would say it was a Sandy Denny solo album with a little padding and as such is probably best bought by those whose first love is Sandy Denny.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not brilliant, but worth buying all the same
I would say that about half of the tracks are worth listening to, and the others seem like fillers. I've had this album for about twenty years now, and the tracks like "Iron Lion"... Read more

Rising For The Moon" seems to start off with the right moves even before listening: A good personnel move (Sandy Denny is back on board), and the cover art is certainly... Read more
