John Renbourn is usually mentioned in the same breath as Bert Jansch. True, their paths have crossed from time to time, but Renbourn is the far more eclectic of the two, covering a far wider range of music.
This is, in all probability his finest hour. John concentrates on his mediaeval leanings, turning out some nifty, wing-fingered versions of early Italian dance tunes - Trotto, Lamento Di Tristan and La Rotta.
On the French tunes Bransle de Bougogne/Bransle Gay, he switches to electric guitar for a lovely duet with Dave Swarbrick's fiddle.
The highlights though are a wonderful jazzy version of the old chestnut Scarborough and the magnificently intricate My Johnny Was A Shoe Maker.
Whether taken in tandem with his other sixties opus Sir Lonalot, or on it's own, this is one of THE standout folk guitar albums.

This is an excellent album from the very underrated John Renbourn.As always his guitar playing is impeccable. His singing however is a touch lightweight, which is why I prefer The John Renbourn group albums such as " A Maid in Bedlam" "Live in America" and "Ship of Fools" which feature the top class vocals of Jacqui McShee Steve Tilston And Maggie Boyle. This is great value for the price though
