Unhalfbricking is the 1969 third Album by the British Electric Folk Rock Band Fairport Convention
Featuring the legendary Richard Thompson on guitar, the sadly deceased Sandy Denny on vovals, Ashly Hutchings, "The John Mayall of folk" on bass, Simon Nichol on bass and Martin Lamble on drums (who tragically died as this album was recorded)...the enigmatic picture sleeve shows Sandy Denny's parents outside their garden -- it is at once very English and slightly unsettling ...(the group are visible through the fence)
Unhalfbricking marks the start of a new sonority for Fairport Convention. They started moving away from American songs and start working on Traditional British songs, which culminated in Liege & Lief, even though this Album only features one traditional song. In 1969, Fairport Convention released 3 Albums, that are often considered to be the best on their career. At the end of the year, the classical line-up would dismember, many would pursue a career in other bands and others sadly died (Martin Lamble, the Drummer, died shortly after recording in May, at the age of 19, after the Band's van crashed).
"Genesis Hall" opens the Album, as always Denny's voice is completely amazing. The Electric Guitar is also of great importance for the song, with some great licks. The Refrain is absolutely stunning. "Si Tu Dois Partir" is a Bob Dylan song, but unlike many other covers they decided to translate the song to French (original title is 'If You Gotta Go, Go Now') and with the help of an accordion managed to make it sound like a real French song. "Autopsy" has an amazing Percussion line, very Jazzistic. It was written by Sandy Denny. "A Sailor's Life" is the only Traditional song in the Album. 11 minutes of the finest Folk Rock you will ever hear, the lyrics are splendid (as are a lot of traditional British songs), The Percussion and the Vocals are obviously amazing and the Final Jam is just overwhelming. "A Sailor's Wife" is Epic! "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" another Denny's composition. It is often considered as one of the best Folk song ever, it is very calm and it has an excellent ambient. "Percy's Song", is another Bob Dylan song (Dylan had invited the band members to listen to his unreleased songs), which hadn't been released yet (it was only released by Dylan in 1985). "Million Dollar Bash" is a rural-like song, also created by Dylan, it is the only song where anyone other than Denny sings. It has a very good Rhythm.
This Album often features in Best of All-Times lists, and songs like "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" was considered to be the best Folk Song by BBC 2 Radio. All said to be considered as the Band's best and one of the Best Albums of all time
