UNHALFBRICKING ALBUM INFO

Unhalfbricking album cover Artist: Fairport Convention
Album: Unhalfbricking
Release Date: 13 Jun 2007


''Unhalfbricking'' is the third album by British folk rock band Fairport Convention, released in 1969. It is seen as a transitional album in their history and marked a further musical move away from American influences towards more traditional English folk songs that had begun on their previous album, ''What We Did On Our Holidays''<ref name = Allmusic/> and arguably reached its peak on the follow-up, ''Liege & Lief'', released later the same year.

Although featuring several at the time unreleased Bob Dylan songs, the album also marked Sandy Denny's maturation as a singer and songwriter, including "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", a song covered by many other performers and now regarded as a classic.<ref>

|accessdate=2008-08-03 </ref> The only traditional song on the album, "A Sailor's Life", is seen as pivotal in the development of English folk rock music.

Changes in the line-up of the band, due to not only to its musical direction but also to external events, mark this album as a turning point in the band's history. 1969 was a prolific year for Fairport Convention; from ''What We Did On Our Holidays'' to ''Liege & Lief'' within twelve months
