I'm not going to pretend that I'm super-knowledgable on Bert Jansch at this point, but I like what I've heard from him as well as from Pentangle, the group he played in. This is his first solo album and it's pretty great. The sound is nice and spare, just guitar and vocals, mixing more traditional-sounding British folk with other idiosyncratic influences. The original version of "Needle of Death" is on here, which has been covered a lot over the years. Anal-retentive complaint: the song titles on tracks 6-9 are all incorrectly labeled.
