I've Always Kept a Unicorn : The Biography of Sandy Denny
Sandy Denny - book - by Mick Houghton
(2016)
I've
Always Kept a Unicorn tells the story of Sandy Denny, one of the
greatest British singers of her time and the first female
singer-songwriter to produce a substantial and enduring body of original
songs. Sandy Denny laid down the marker for folk-rock when she joined
Fairport Convention in 1968, but her music went far beyond this during
the seventies. After leaving Fairport she formed Fotheringay, whose
influential eponymous album was released in 1970, before collaborating
on a historic one-off recording with Led Zeppelin - the only other
vocalist to record with Zeppelin in their entire career - and releasing
four solo albums across the course of the decade.
Her
tragic and untimely death came in 1978. Sandy emerged from the folk
scene of the sixties - a world of larger-than-life characters such as
Alex Campbell, Jackson C. Frank, Anne Briggs and Australian singer
Trevor Lucas, whom she married in 1973.
Their
story is at the core of Sandy's later life and work, and is told with
the assistance of more than sixty of her friends, fellow musicians and
contemporaries, one of whom, to paraphrase McCartney on Lennon, observed
that she sang like an angel but was no angel.
