Camelot on Ergot,
This review is from: Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte (Audio CD)
Perhaps they should have been a bit more careful with the wheat they used for baking that winter at Camelot, because during the John Renbourn Consort's performance of a tune called "Morgana" one of the recorder players positively freaked out. Prior to this the percussionist had replaced his tabor and tambourine with a set of bongos, while the consort leader and lute player had put steel strings on his instrument, which seemingly enticed him into playing some funny, kind of African sounding melody lines, bending the strings in a manner so you couldn't tell if he was going by minor or major scales during his elaborate ornamentations. The whole thing was recorded on the rather primitive equipment of the day. Still the sound was good, though the edit on a track called "Lady and the Unicorn" left a bit to be desired. In hindsight it wasn't the best record John Renbourn Esquire ever made (too much ergot, one is led to believe), but the album went on to inspire a whole generation of would-be musical Robin Hoods, from Fairport Convention through the Amazing Blondel to Phil Pickett (the Wilson Ditto of the crumhorn), and as such was an essential forerunner for the wonderful musical style we now know as Mock Tudor R&B.
In other words, a fine record, and my only real objections here are related to the sleeve notes which forget to tell us anything much about the sidemen (thanks for informing us that David Munroe was there but not what he did!), and the bonus material which consists of three rather uninteresting alternative versions of the least interesting tracks from the original resin album, otherwise deleted since 1648.

Near Perfect Guitar Music,
By
This review is from: Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte (Audio CD)
Anyone with just the slightest love for guitar music should own an album by Renbourn. This is from his early period, and it showcases his technique and style with a wit and humour that other Renbourn records don't have. Personally, I prefer his reworks of very old midieval material, but the other tunes are just as good. This album, along with "Another Monday", makes a perfect document of Renbourn music.

Sir John Alot of Merrie Englande - John renbourne. Beautiful,
By
This review is from: Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte (Audio CD)
I bought this on a whim, after having heard some of Pentangle's early work. A truly beautiful album of instrumentals. I listen to this often and always get lost in the music. My only compaint - it's a bit short!
An excellent buy for anyone interested in folk music/accoustic guitar work or haunting instrumentals.
