Sandy Denny: Rendezvous
Karl Dallas, Melody Maker, May 1977
THIS IS THE ALBUM we have been waiting for since Sandy left Fairport Convention for the second time at the end of 1975. Over six months ago there were rumours that she had produced something rather remarkable, but as the months went by and a projected tour failed to materialise, one began to wonder if the happily pregnant lady wasn't about to settle down to domesticity for a while.
