4 stars Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking is another great 1969 release from a band that had a bumper crop that year. There may be a somewhat larger emphasis on more modern cover versions than the more traditional Liege and Lief, but then again the extended guitar explorations that are unleashed when Richard Thompson and Simon Nichol let loose result in radical transformations of the songs anyway. Yes, they still owe a debt to Dylan, but there's not a trace of Dylan's distinctive sound here even when they do cover some of his material: the conventions of the Fairport sound are clearly set out at this stage of their career.
