Unhalfbricking

by Fairport Convention

The 626th greatest album of all time

Unhalfbricking, released in 1969 by Fairport Convention, captures the band moving from Anglo-American folk rock toward a distinct British folk sensibility. The album pairs electric rock instrumentation with acoustic and traditional inflections and features prominent contributions from Sandy Denny's vocals and Richard Thompson's songwriting and guitar work. It includes an early studio recording of Denny's Who Knows Where the Time Goes? and helped point the group toward the more traditional material they explored on subsequent recordings.
