Description:
Unhalfbricking, originally released in 1969, was a transitional album for Fairport Convention, as vocalist (and American folk-rock enthusiast) Ian Matthews left midway through the recording. As a result the band looked further into their own country`s folk traditions for influence, as their decidedly British style was cemented by the addition of Dave Swarbrick`s fiddle. This is not to say that Unhalfbricking is a weak album, on the contrary, it is a stone cold classic and includes some of the band`s finest material including their take on Dylan`s "Percy`s Song," the traditional "A Sailor`s Life," and one of Sandy Denny`s finest compositions in "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?"
