#56. Bert Jansch | Bert Jansch (1965)


Recorded with a portable tape player and performed on borrowed guitars, Bert Jansch's debut was sold to Transatlantic Records for £100 ($180, and no royalties).

I'll be honest, I had never heard of Bert Jansch until just a few weeks ago when I bought this album. I was pleasantly surprised. At times, it was very depressing, but his skill as an acoustic picker was incredible. Apparently, he has been a major influence on guitarists like Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher.

Gina, I think you would definitely like this one.
