Rat Bastard maps out the music of Sandy Denny
Returning guest, producer, experimental/noise music pioneer and curmudgeon Frank 'Rat Bastard' Falestra invited us to his South Beach, Miami studio for a crash course on pre-eminent British singer/songwriter Sandy Denny. In her short life, Denny left an impressive body of work both with the UK folk rock band Fairport Convention and solo releases.
