De la página de Continental Drifters:
November 21, 1998, the Continental Drifters served ably as house band for "Listen, Listen: The Music of Sandy Denny", presented as part of The Arts at St. Ann's in Brooklyn, New York. We backed up more than a dozen talented singers, as some of the most criminally ignored songwriting in recent history was partially put to right for the night.

The late Sandy Denny and her erstwhile bandmate Richard Thompson have established two of the great canons of contemporary songwriting, largely unheard by the listening public. Their blend of modern smarts, intelligent melodies and the roots of great folk tradition is as moving now as it was over thirty years ago; it's never been bettered, but we sure have a lot of fun playing it. 

The band has kept a bunch of the songs we learned in circulation since the St. Ann's show; "Ditching Boy", we began playing when Iain Matthews graciously joined us in New Orleans for a set of his beautiful music May 19, 1998. "Bright Lights" was a song Susan and I have sung together since we first met in the early '90s. Robert suggested we work up "Need Somebody" a few years ago, and it's always been a crowd pleaser. They're all presented in glorious, undistorted acoustic trappings for you, courtesy of Hot*FM's recording skills and the magic of Mike Mayeux. 

Enjoy, enjoy!
