1638 Fairport Convention - Dawn

1638 Fairport Convention - Dawn

From: Rising for the Moon, Year: 1975
Genre: Folk Rock/Rock

For some reason I just felt like listening to some Fairport this morning. I noticed that I hadn't chosen a song off of their Rising for the Moon album yet, so I went ahead and picked this one, which is one of my favourites. It's quite a beautiful and dynamic song; they do a good job transitioning between the softer and delicate sound and kicking in with the harder sound when needed.
While this one's not one of their adaptations of a traditional tune, it contains some aspects from songs of that type. This was also the last Fairport album to feature the incomparable Sandy Denny, of course she was amazing as ever.

Hear Dawn on YouTube.
