| Following the departure of Simon Nicol the group was reconstituted with the addition of Sandy Denny s husband Trevor Lucas and Jerry Donahue, both formerly of Fotheringay Their first album was also a miscalculation, a failed attempt to crack the pop music market There are lots of original songs done in a modern folk-rock sound, many written by Lucas, although the best was the title track by Swarbrick (which featured Denny and Thompson as well as Thompson s future wife Linda Peters, as guest artists) The Lucas compositions were all pleasant (especially Knights of the Road, and the haunting The Plainsman ), but tend to make one think more of Gordon Lightfoot sounding archaic than of previous incarnations of Fairport The only exceptions are Peggy s Pub and The Hens March Through the Midden, andinstrumentals that recall the group s old sound | ||
