"Rosie," released in March 1973, is the eighth studio album by the iconic British folk rock band Fairport Convention. Coming after a period of significant lineup changes, including the departure of founding member Simon Nicol and the arrival of Trevor Lucas (who also produced the album) and Jerry Donahue (both formerly of Fotheringay), the album represents a fascinating, albeit sometimes debated, shift in the band's sound.
While retaining Fairport's distinctive blend of traditional influences and rock instrumentation, "Rosie" leans into a more country-rock and contemporary folk-rock feel. The album features strong songwriting, notably the title track "Rosie" written by Dave Swarbrick, which includes guest vocals from both Sandy Denny and Linda Peters (Linda Thompson). Other highlights include the rousing "Matthew, Mark, Luke & John" and the intricate instrumental "Peggy's Pub."
A testament to Fairport Convention's enduring creativity and adaptability, "Rosie" is an essential listen for fans interested in the full breadth of their illustrious career.
