A collectible record now of this brit folk guitar legend. On this early outing, the first to appear under his own name, you can, perhaps, detect some of the influence on traditionalblues like "John Henry" and "Candy Man." But as a player, Renbourn had already very much developed into his own man,
imaginative and complete in technique. He does one track with fellow guitar player Bert Jansch "Noah and Rabbit."

John Renbourn--vocals, guitar
Bert Jansch--guitar

Judy (John Renbourn) 1:56 - one of John's first instrumentals.
