Ho saputo della scomparsa della grande Judy Dyble RIP Ho il primo album dei Fairport Convention in vinile non originale in ristampa però lo posseggo poi ho la raccolta in CD the Brondesbury Tapes dei Giles Giles & Fripp dove Judy appare come vocalist femminile in diversi brani il più celebre è naturalmente I Talk To The Wind che poco tempo dopo apparirà nell' album di esordio dei King Crimson In the court ma con alla voce Greg Lake RIP Non posseggo l'album dei Trader Horne ma lo ascolto su internet spesso è veramente un gran bel disco !!!! Grazie Judy per le emozioni in musica che ci hai regalato di nuovo Rip !!!!
She was an amazing singer and when Fairport convention came to the west coast (US) I saw her sing several times live. I loved her auto-harp because I had one and could never master it the way she did. She will be missed. RIP
That's odd because Fairport's first US dates were late April 1970 by which time Judy was long gone from the band. Perhaps the stuff you were smoking has fuzzed up your memory.
@@YorkyOne Absolutely, Judy had long left by the time the Fairports went to the States, and to the best of my knowledge Sandy Denny never used an autoharp
On a FC bulletin board, the question was posed: How did you get into Fairport? Most people told of people who'd shown them the music or taken them to gigs by FC and so on. Judy's answer: I knocked on the door.
Martin Lamble came to a show where Shaun Frater was on drums and came up to the band after the gig and said "I can do much better than that guy on drums". They took him on and the rest is history. One of the finest drummers in rock IMHO and certainly one of the most distinctive.
Interestingly, someone referred to Fairport as the British Jefferson Airplane. So, does that mean that Judy Dyble is Signe Anderson and Sandy Denny was Grace Slick?
Brian, that parallel has been widely observed. Both Grace and Sandy were more powerful band members because they were such great song writers. Mind you it was Judy who contributed to the west coast sound which initially linked the two bands.
No doubting that. Just that when I think of Fairport I immediately think of Sandy just like when I think about the Airplane I think of Grace. Another interesting thing is that both bands did appear at the first Isle of Wight festival in 68 and for a long time I thought that that meant that Sandy and Grace were on the bill together, but when I checked it was when Judy was still in Fairport.
When the band formed in '67 the west coast sound was massive of course, and the Airplane were already becoming highly influential. Fairport's tag as the 'British Airplane' was down to that influence firstly because they had a female singer and secondly due to the tracks on their debut album on Polydor. Covers of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen material. When Sandy joined for the second album, for which they switched to Island, she became the third of a very strong songwriting trio, alongside Thompson and Hutchings. Their direction into folk was unstoppable then, and any reference to them as the answer to the Airplane was irrelevant. I agree though, Grace was, and still is, unique.
@@YorkyOne - apparently one of the reasons why he left FC was because he had become obsessed with traditional folk songs - he formed Steel eye span and did what he wanted - up to date versions of these amazing songs. Also, to add to your reply to @Aftonfarout, wasn't Sandy the person who encouraged RT with his song writing? I'm sure he has said this in an interview somewhere. And Sandy was already a writer before joining FC. All of which makes the idea that Sandy became a third spoke in a writing wheel a little bit derogatory IMO.
Sad to hear of Judy's death today - nice lady - lovely voice - RIP

Still looking great, Judy.
Judy's put out some really cool albums since she got back into the music biz last decade.
Thank You!

Ooh. What a cheeky minx.

Judy Collins' In My Life alnbum is a masterpiece
Wasn't aware, so sorry x

Re songwriting Ashley Hutchings really didn't add much to the mix.

Sent her this greyhound stuffed toy just before she died. Didn't realize how sick she was at the time.
