Down in the Flood by Fairport Convention (1974)


For most music fans, if you've heard of Sandy Denny, it's because she was a guest vocalist on Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore". Years before this guest appearance, she was singing for Richard Thompson's Fairport Convention in probably the best known version of that band. By 1969, she had left the band.

She returns to Fairport in 1974(now without Thompson) and lends her voice to this bluesy track. Sandy would leave the band again by 1976. She then died in 1978 after suffering a brain hemorrhage falling down a flight of stairs.
