Free Music Review: Classic, raw Bert
Hit: 5 Stars
OK, granted, Bert's vocals on the title cut are a bit uneven--but that's the great thing about traditional folk music. The little mistakes don't seem entirely out of place, and admittedly, "Jack Orion" is one of those epic songs that require a great feat of memory to keep all the lyrics straight (or a handy lyric sheet in front of you) during a performance. Never has Jansch seemed quite so real as he does here.
These eight tracks are classic performances, and quite obviously done live--there are no overdubs, just Bert, his guitar, banjo and voice, with backing from John Renbourn on guitar. It's easy to see why Jimmy Page nicked the melody from "Blackwaterside" for "Black Mountain Side," as Bert really nails the Irish ballad flat. And I'll agree, his version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" resembles no other version of the song recorded to date--wonder what Ewan MacColl thought of it? Lack of polish aside (I think of Bert's "Needle of Death" from 1965 for an example of a more professional-sounding track, particularly from the Jansch oeuvre), Jack Orion is a real delight.
