Product Description

Digitally remastered edition of this 1965 release. Bert Jansch's debut not only inspired an entire generation to pick up the guitar, it also captured this taciturn Scot's character perfectly. The self-titled album has been a cornerstone of British music ever since. It melds the styles of blues pioneer Elizabeth Cotten and the Charles Mingus-influenced jazz inflections of the British acoustic master Davy Graham, adds all kinds of baroque complexities and hides everything under melodic sophistication. Jansch's lyrics are alternately romantic and observant but they're never sentimental - more than anything, Bert Jansch is a timeless album. Bert wasn't setting out to prove too much. He simply did something fantastic. Then he let people discover it in their own time. The album was an extension of Bert's life in the mid-1960s, which was chaotic but through dedication and innate sympathy for the instrument he got very good, very quickly. The next step was to migrate to London. That's where, in the atmosphere of austerity and excitement characterizing bohemian life in the capital in the early 1960s, the adventure began.
