BERT JANSCH Best Of Live

★★★★☆

Ah, the sweet sounds of Bert Jansch reverberating through the air like a warm hug from a long-lost friend. This compilation of live performances is a treasure trove for any fan of folk music, showcasing the legendary guitarist at his best.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Blackwaterside" to the foot-stomping "Strolling Down the Highway", Jansch's virtuosity on the guitar is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each track is a masterclass in fingerpicking, with melodies that seem to dance effortlessly from his fingertips.

What truly sets this album apart, however, is the intimate atmosphere of the live recordings. You can almost feel the hushed reverence of the audience, hanging on every note as Jansch weaves his musical magic. It's like being transported back in time to a smoky folk club in 1960s London.

Of course, no Jansch album would be complete without his signature wit and charm. His between-song banter is as delightful as his music, with anecdotes and jokes that will have you laughing out loud.

In short, Bert Jansch's "Best Of Live" is essential listening for any music lover. It's a testament to the enduring power of his music, and a reminder of just how influential he was in shaping the folk genre. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let Bert Jansch serenade you into a state of pure musical bliss. Cheers!
