Fairport Convention - Sloth

The idiom of folk rock encompasses many styles, so we shouldn't be shocked over Fairport Convention being a part of the label. Then again, the latter should be seen as an interesting case, since they provided a British counterpart to an American understanding of the genre. Still, the band's eponymous debut felt closer to their colleagues from the USA, which results in the platter being ignored. True, this remains the LP of a group in search of an identity, but you see they followed the 60's folk rock on their own terms and who knows where they could have gone, had they developed the sound of this lineup. While no one can deny Sandy Denny's later accomplishments within the collective, one wishes Fairport Convention could've found a way to keep Mrs. Judy Dyble.
