Description

The English singer-songwriter John Renbourn was best known for his collaboration with Bert Jansch in the early sixties and later as a member of the British jazz-folk band Pentangle. Renbourn’s biggest inspiration as a guitar player lays in the American blues. A famous phrase by Renbourn was “I started out trying to play like Big Bill Broonzy, and I’m still trying”. The album includes some traditional blues songs like “Joe Henry” and “Candy Man”. AllMusic ends it review from this album: “As debuts go, you’d be hard pressed to find anything much better in the folk cauldron that was London in the mid-’60s. The genesis of a master”. The CD included three bonus tracks.
