Don't Stop Singing is a collaboration album between the folk singer-songwriters Thea Gilmore and the late Sandy Denny.
In late 2010, Gilmore was commissioned by Sandy Denny’s estate, in conjunction with Island Records, to write melodies for unfinished manuscripts, lyrics without music, and works in progress and so to finally bring some of Denny's last works to the world.
Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian wrote that "if any British singer was the woman for the job, it was Gilmore, whose tender style is profoundly reminiscent of Denny's", and called the album "a gem in its own right".[1] The Independents Nick Coleman called it a "slightly over-orchestrated set of semi-powerful ballads, which is deeply felt and worthy of your interest."[2]
All songs were written by Sandy Denny and Thea Gilmore except where noted
