If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Fairport Convention: Unhalfbricking « Previous | |Next »
June 3, 2012

I first heard Sandy Dennis' Who Knows Where the Time Goes on Fairport Convention's 1969 album Unhalfbricking. It is a work of transition in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound.

The album had a strange cover of an older couple standing outside a gate, the group in the distance in the garden and a walled suburban garden.The clear signpost to the future was the groups 11-minute take on the traditional folk song A Sailor's Life:

This song foreshadowed the more overtly folk-rock album Liege & Lief, often considered a classic of its kind.
