One of the highest points in the solo career of Sandy Denny – a set that has her working with a hip array of British musical contemporaries, but also getting some sublime larger orchestrations from Harry Robinson and Bob Leaper too!

New Ancient Strings ... LP Hannibal/Chrysalis, 1999. New Copy ...
Just Sold Out!
A set from the late 90s, but one that's got a very timeless vibe – as it features spare duets on kora between these two legendary players – coming together in a way that's completely magical, and fresh enough to earn the "new ancient" in the title! There's a sense of warmth ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

... CD
(Japanese release of the 1996 Ryko pressing – includes wraparound obi and insert, Japanese promo sticker on barcode.)
Titles include "Time To Ring Some Changes", "Honky Tonk Blues", "Genesis Hall", "For Shame Of Doing Wrong", "Down Where The Drunkards Roll", and "Never Again". CD
