Our Take

Bert Jansch's album "Nicolain" is like a delightful cup of English breakfast tea - comforting, familiar, and just a tad cheeky. The legendary folk musician's intricate guitar work and soulful vocals take center stage on these eleven tracks, transporting listeners to a simpler time when troubadours roamed the countryside spreading stories of love and loss.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Fresh as a Sweet Sunday Morning" to the foot-stomping "Soho," Jansch effortlessly weaves together elements of traditional folk with a modern sensibility, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. The album's standout track, "Blackwaterslide," is a masterclass in storytelling, with Jansch's evocative lyrics painting a vivid picture of a love gone wrong.

But what truly sets "Nicolain" apart is Jansch's playful sense of humor, evident in tracks like "Fisherman's Jig" and "Gin and Juice." His wry wit and charming delivery add a layer of depth to the music, making it impossible to resist tapping your toes and singing along.

In a world full of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, Bert Jansch is a breath of fresh air - a reminder of the power of honest, heartfelt music. "Nicolain" is a must-listen for any fan of folk or acoustic music, and is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Raise a glass to the maestro, and let the music wash over you like a warm English breeze.
