On Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, Sandy Denny leans into cinema-lit nostalgia, braiding English folk melancholy with 30s-inflected strings and jazz standards. Time, memory and solitude waltz together, her voice hovering between confessional intimacy and silver-screen reverie, poised at the fragile brink of reinvention.

Known for her time as vocalist in Fairport Convention and respected globally , Sandy Denny left a beguiling, ever-evolving body of work - Kate Bush was to namecheck her in song, and Denny's influence can be heard in generations of singer-songwriters.

Although recorded throughout the previous year, Like An Old Fashioned Waltz was released in early 1974, soon after Denny had re-joined Fairport Convention. An unashamedly romantic, sentimental album, it contains her much loved tracks Solo and No End, and a rollicking version of Fats Waller's Until The Real Thing Comes Along with Diz Disley on guitar, Danny Thompson on bass and Tony Coe on sax. The other cover on the album was that of the Inkspots' Whispering Grass which emphasised Like An Old Fashioned Waltz's warm autumnal nostalgia.
