Title: Fairport Founder In Fine Fettle
Review: Resurgence (UK) have rereleased "Before Your Time" and "Consonant Please Carol", the two solo albums by Fairport Convention's Simon Nicol (the only original member still with the group)in a single package.This is great stuff. Fairport fans will be interested to hear the original versions of "The Deserter" and "Stuck It Right This Time", both of which appeared on Fairport Convention's live CD "OLD NEW BORROWED BLUE" and are standards in Fairport's set lists. Simon's comfy voice provides one of the better versions of Julie Gold's oft-covered "From A Distance" as well as Linda Thompson's "Insult to Injury". Speaking of Linda Thompson, this collection includes the amazing "I Live Not Where I Love" which Simon recorded in Linda's living room, featuring Linda on lead vocal, Simon and the Watersons in the background. This track alone is worth the twenty bucks.
