In this episode, Mick and Joel scrutinise the short life of folk artist Sandy Denny. Sandy was a key figure in the evolution of folk rock, being a great songwriter, but one who also brought traditional songs to the fledgling Fairport Convention and was kept to the creation of their seminal Liege & Lief album. She's also the only artist to have guested on a Led Zeppelin album. But Sandy's complex character - exacerbated by insecurities and alcohol - meant that her life burned briefly but brilliantly.
