An atypical standout VI

Best known for its folk rock, Fairport Convention took some interesting turns on its somewhat overlooked "Nine" album.  While the band recorded a lot of its best work early in its career, such as "Meet On The Ledge," "Now Be Thankful," and a strong cover of Joni Mitchell's "Eastern Rain," "Possibly Parsons Green" is an atypical standout.  Trevor Lucas sings lead on the tune that could have passed for an American country rock hit.  Sandy Denny recorded many of the best vocals during her years with the band, but Lucas deserves credit for pulling off the unusual "Possibly Parsons Green" just as well as more traditional numbers, such as "Polly On The Shore."
