Our Take

Bert Jansch's "La Turnaround" is like a warm cup of tea on a rainy London day - comforting, nostalgic, and just a little bit bittersweet. The legendary folk musician weaves tales of love, loss, and life's ups and downs with his signature fingerpicking style that's as intricate as a maze in Hampton Court Palace.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Morning Brings Peace of Mind" to the toe-tapping "One for Jo," Jansch showcases his unparalleled skill on the guitar, effortlessly blending traditional folk melodies with a touch of psychedelic whimsy. It's like taking a stroll through a garden maze, never quite sure where the path will lead but enjoying every twist and turn along the way.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on "La Turnaround" - tracks like "Alman" and "Stone Monkey" delve into darker, more introspective themes, painting a picture of a troubadour grappling with the complexities of life and love. Jansch's gravelly voice is like a well-worn leather jacket, weathered and worn but still exuding timeless charm.

Overall, "La Turnaround" is a testament to Bert Jansch's enduring talent and influence on the folk music scene. It's a masterclass in storytelling through song, a journey through the highs and lows of life set to music that will transport you to another time and place. So grab a cuppa, put on your headphones, and let Bert Jansch take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget.
