 A
gentle, atmospheric album.
Released by Reprise on K44225 in 1972,
Warner Brothers on in the US.
Bert Jansch has now bought back most of
his catalogue and released this on Jansch Records BJCD 001.
- Yarrow (traditional arr. Jansch) -
a beautiful performance of a traditional song. A lady is courted by nine
gentlemen and a ploughboy. They fight for her favours and the ploughboy
wins, then her brother murders him.
- Brought With The Wind - a traditional
tune with lyrics by Jansch
- The January Man - the only track on
the album that isn't traditional or Jansch, this one is written by Dave
Goulder.
- Night Time Blues - (Jansch)
- Moonshine (Jansch) - one of many wonderful
Jansch tracks. The musings of a prisoner who was forced to fight for a
cruel master and is now left to rot in a dungeon.
- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Ewan
McColl) - Bert obviously likes this song - he also played an instrumental version on his
Jack Orion album.
- Rambleaway (traditional arr. Jansch)
- Twa Corbies (traditional arr. Jansch)
- the best rendition I have ever heard of the song that was done to death
by the finger-in-the-ear singers in the sixties revival.
- Oh My Father (Jansch)
