5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of songs, January 23, 2003

By	P. J. Walstra "pwalstra" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It took me a long time to get this one, but it was well worth the wait. I knew and loved 'Solo', but hadn't heard any of the other tracks. All are just great and stand up to repeated listening. Sandy was just wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like an old fashioned waltz, December 16, 2001

By A Customer

I have this album on vinyl. This is one of the most haunting collections of music I have ever heard. Sandy Denny is an artist of all artists. She transends over all decades. I am looking forward to having this record on CD. Dottie

5.0 out of 5 stars Sandy's Masterpiece, June 16, 2001

By	Cathy T, "zenbyrd" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

Sandy was a storyteller, an original songwriter with a fascinatingly clear and colorful voice, as well as a talent for deceptively sweet, double-edged lyrics. If you listen to her earlier albums you can hear the progression...From her folksy roots and somewhat pedestrian arrangements, she evolved towards something richer and fuller, culminating in this, a very jazzy, seductive and satisfying album complete with soaring instrumentals. "Like An Old Fashioned Waltz" is gutsy and extravagant. Picture a classy nightclub, dim lighting, a whispering brass orchestra. Then again, picture a wanderer and a minstral, living in an enchanted castle, harkening back to a more innocent time. This is Sandy at her finest. Her voice is at it's peak, nimble and pure. From the bittersweet triumph in the opening cut "Solo" to the dreamlike and introspecive "No End", the mood is set for a saucy, sexy, strong woman who can make it on her own, while still believing in fairytales and idealized love. Who knows where her music would have taken her had she lived. As it is, "Like An Old Fashioned Waltz" may be the masterpiece that she was meant to bring to the world.
