5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb reissue from No. 1 master of the steel strung acoustic guitar,
This review is from: John Renbourn (Audio CD)
Over the years I've been through several original vinyl issues of this album, and they all suffered from the usual flaws of that medium, particularly inner groove distortion. Despite the shortcomings of the CD medium this is a very fine alternative, as good as it can be. The sound is open and not too hard, the artwork is as good as possible on the narrow space available on a compact disc, and there are some knowledgeable sleeve-notes. "A lot of people have a lot to thank John Renbourn for," they begin. Count me in.

Pure outstanding fingerstyle blues guitar heaven,
By
This review is from: John Renbourn (Audio CD)
I originally bought this album (in English, LP) when I was at university in 1969. It still inspires me today and I still aspire to play more of the songs on it. From the simple instrumental Judy to the more difficult blues instrumental Plainsong this was the defining album that made Renbourn a cult figure among acoustic guitarists. You will never hear a better version of Candyman - this contains the definitive haunting version that makes all others seem pale imitations.The blues breaks that he puts into every song are just incredible, even now after 35 years of playing fingerstyle guitar I cannot get anywhere near them. I would love to be able to play them such is the level of sheer virtuosity and inspiration. I just wish someone would 'tab' them. There are even a couple of duets with contemporary Bert Jansch - 'blue bones', a great song about hitching on the N7 in France (National Seven) and to end a great and haunting song "blues run the game" that you will hum for days. He doesnt play the same material any more - i went to see him in Chester - it was an excellent evening but he has moved on in style leaving a great legacy in acoustic blues fingerstyle guitar that in my educated view stands among the best ever recorded. I was absolutely stunned to see that nobody had reviewed this great album and just had to rectify that..
