Review

Released in 2000, this double CD collects remastered tracks that were issued originally on compilations on Pye and Dawn, some rare EPs, and 7" releases, making a total of 30 cuts from this diverse British guitarist, whose music encompassed folk, blues, traditional, jazz, country, and avant-garde. His remarkable late-'60s and early-'70s LPs Oh Really?, Trout Steel, Do I Know You?, and Places I Know are among the most overlooked British blues and folk recordings of the era, and along with this compilation of rarities are well worth the time of fans of Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Davy Graham, Wizz Jones, and the like. ~ Skip Jansen, Rovi
