Judy Dyble was best known for her work on the first Fairport Convention album. From then on, she moved to Giles, Giles and Fripp, where, together with Ian McDonald, she went on to record some demos for some future King Crimson compositions, which later turned up on A Young Person’s Guide to King Crimson. She also worked in a duo called Trader Horne. Judy left the musical scene in 1973 and except some appearances here and there didn’t return until the new millennium, when she started releasing solo albums. We talked to Judy just as she is preparing to release her new album, Flow & Change. There was also time to talk about her previous effort, Talking with Strangers.
First of all, thanks for agreeing to do this interview. How are things?
Thank you for asking me, all is good, today the sun is shining and the crystal tree is sparkling.
What’s new on the musical front? How is work progressing on your new album, Flow & Change?
The new album, Flow and Change is just about finished, the tracks have been sent flying away to be mastered and we (Alistair Murphy and I) are working on the inlay booklet artwork and suchlike. Haven’t yet decided how to it will make its way into the world.
What can fans expect to hear there? Similar style to Talking with Strangers?
This new album is more story based I think, in that the songs are a snapshot of the middle of a story and I leave the listener to imagine the befores and the afterwards, the whys and the wherefores. I hope the songs might have a connection with the listeners own experiences. There is, I suppose, a similarity in style to TWS but this time several of the songs have superb string arrangements by Phil Toms and played by No-Man’s Steve Bingham and his musicians. This adds something quite new and in many cases, heart-breaking, moments.
