Our Take

Sandy Denny, the legendary folk songstress, has always had a way of weaving magic with her haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. And on her latest album, "I've Always Kept A Unicorn," she once again proves why she is a true unicorn in the music industry.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a whimsical world where fairies dance and dragons roam free. Denny's ethereal vocals float effortlessly over lush arrangements, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that is both enchanting and mesmerising.

Tracks like "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" and "Unicorn" showcase Denny's unparalleled songwriting skills, with their poignant lyrics and unforgettable melodies staying with you long after the music has stopped. And with guest appearances from luminaries such as Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy, this album is a veritable who's who of the British folk scene.

But it's not just the music that makes "I've Always Kept A Unicorn" so special. The album artwork, featuring a whimsical unicorn frolicking in a meadow, perfectly captures the dreamy, fantastical vibe of the music within.

In conclusion, Sandy Denny's latest offering is a true masterpiece that showcases why she is a force to be reckoned with in the folk music world. So sit back, relax, and let Sandy Denny's enchanting music transport you to a magical realm where unicorns roam free and dreams really do come true.
