BERT JANSCH
with JOHN RENBOURN
A master of British folk/blues guitar who influenced countless artists with his self-penned
solo work and his tenure with folk-rock heroes Pentangle. One of the most important figures
in contemporary British folk, Bert Jansch brought an unsurpassed combination of virtuosity
and eclecticism to the acoustic guitar, both as a solo act and a key member of Pentangle.
Also a talented songwriter and affecting (if gruff) vocalist, he wrote dark and sparse material
that recalled the folky side of Donovan, though he was much less pop-oriented than
the psychedelic pop troubadour. Incorporating elements of blues, American folk,
and British Isles traditional music into his playing, his influence was not only immense
in the British folk scene, it also extended to the rock world -- Neil Young and Jimmy Page,
two electric guitar gonzos who often turn to acoustic picking as well, have acknowledged
Jansch as a major influence. Young went as far as to tell Guitar Player
that Jansch did for the acoustic guitar what Jimi Hendrix did for the electric

After presenting almost all-original sets on his first two albums (albeit originals
that sometimes borrowed heavily from traditional folk themes), Jansch opted to devote
all of his third LP to traditional folk numbers. His future Pentangle partner John Renbourn
joins him on four of the eight songs. Highlights include the ten-minute title track
(whose length was a real oddity on contemporary folk albums of the time)
and a cover of "Nottamun Town" (whose melody Dylan lifted for "Masters of War").
Not as original as the artist's first two LPs, the guitar and vocal work on these adaptations
were still as influential to the '60s folk world as anything else in Jansch's catalog...(AllMusic)
