Our Take

Ah, Bert Jansch, the folk legend whose guitar skills are as nimble as a squirrel on speed. His latest album, "Edge Of A Dreamin", is a mesmerizing journey through the whimsical world of folk music, with Jansch's haunting vocals carrying us along like a gentle stream.

The album opens with the title track, a dreamy ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Jansch's fingerpicking is as intricate as a spider's web, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both delicate and powerful.

Tracks like "Moonshine" and "Blackbird In The Morning" showcase Jansch's talents as a storyteller, with lyrics that are as poetic as a Shakespearean sonnet. His voice, weathered by years of singing in smoke-filled pubs, adds a sense of authenticity to each song, making us feel like we're sitting by a crackling fire, sipping on a pint of ale.

But it's not all somber ballads and introspective musings. Songs like "Dance of The Fireflies" and "Whiskey River Blues" inject a dose of toe-tapping energy into the mix, proving that Jansch is just as adept at getting us on our feet as he is at tugging at our heartstrings.

In conclusion, "Edge Of A Dreamin" is a timeless addition to Bert Jansch's already impressive discography. With its blend of melancholy melodies and foot-stomping rhythms, this album is a must-listen for any fan of folk music. So grab your guitar, pour yourself a pint, and let Bert Jansch take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers!
