Our Take

In a time when psychedelic folk meets the windy city, Fairport Convention takes their act all the way to Chicago, 1970. This live album is a time capsule of a band at the peak of their powers, blending traditional English folk with American rock influences in a way that will make you want to grab a pint and dance around a maypole. From the moment the opening notes of "Sir Patrick Spens" ring out, you know this is going to be a wild ride. Sandy Denny's haunting vocals soar above Richard Thompson's masterful guitar work, creating a sound that is both timeless and incredibly of its time. The band's energy is infectious, with each member bringing their A-game to the performance. Tracks like "Matty Groves" and "Flatback Caper" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend rock and folk elements, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. The chemistry between the band members is palpable, with each musician feeding off of the others' energy to create something truly special. Fairport Convention Chicago 1970 is a must-listen for fans of folk rock, British Invasion, or just good music in general. So grab your flower crown and your tambourine, and let Fairport Convention take you on a journey back in time to a place where the music was pure and the vibes were groovy. You won't regret it, I promise.
