BERT JANSCH レコード& CD

Review: A true totem of UK folk music, Bert Jansch's Avocet remains one of the finest records the Scottish musician ever committed to tape. The grand scope of the 18-minute title track is worth the price of entry alone, but of course there's so much to savour as Jansch takes us on a tour through some of his favourite avian friends. This is a special commemorative edition of the 1979 album, packaged with six interchangeable cover designs from illustrator Hannah Alice depicting all of the birds Jansch references on the album. There are also three downloadable bonus tracks bundled with the album, which were recorded live in Italy in 1977.
