Free Music Notes for North Star Grassman & The Ravens
Free Music Review: Very good
Hit: 4 Stars
Even though this is Sandy's first solo effort, she was far from a novice at this point. Having been in the Strawbs, Fairport Convention, and Fotheringay, she had pretty well demonstrated she had the chops and talent to venture out on her own. Still, this album features most of her Foteringay alumni, so in many places it sounds like Fotheringay II. It has more of a folky feel than her later albums (in fact my favorite is the lone traditional "Blackwaterside"). With songs like "Down In The Flood" and "Let's Jump The Broomstick", she began to stretch out.
I like this one a lot, but think that her next two efforts ("Sandy" and "Like An Old Fashioned Waltz)compell me more. But having Richard Thompson playing throughout, you really can't go wrong. The bonus tracks are good, too--especially the rocking "Walking The Floor Over You".
Overall: recommended, 4 stars.
