Free Music Notes for L.A. Turnaround
Free Music Review: Arguably Bert's best...
Hit: 5 Stars
Bert Jansch's 1973 album "L.A. Turnaround" was unavailable for many years, and I'm glad to see it has finally been released on CD. Most of the tracks on "L.A. Turnaround" were recorded at Mike Nesmith's residence using a mobile studio, and perhaps the relaxed environment and the support of musicians Nesmith and the notable session player Red Rhodes contributed to Jansch delivering some of his best performances. Jansch's guitar playing, while always phenomenal, is particularly amazing on this album. The instrumental "Chambertin" is an inspired tour de force which left me with my jaw on the floor when I first heard it. Another thing that strikes me about "L.A. Turnaround" are the great melodies of these songs, which I never tire of. The haunting "Fresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning" and the wistful tracks "Travelling Man" and "There Comes A Time" have remained favorites of mine through the years. Jansch chose to re-record his classic song "Needle Of Death" on this album, and I have to say that I prefer this version to the original version on his first album. For once, the bonus tracks included do not take away from the original album: the alternate versions of "One For Jo", "Open Up The Watergate", and "The Blacksmith" are all interesting in the differences in production from the final versions. The beautiful bonus track "In The Bleak Midwinter" is another song that I'm thankful has been released. The 2009 CD release includes an ECD section that is a mini-documentary on the making of the album which can be watched on your computer, which is a really cool feature for fans. I would rate "L.A. Turnaround" as one of Jansch's best albums, and if you are a fan this is one you should have. I would also recommend Mike Nesmith's album "And The Hits Just Keep On Comin'" which was recorded during the same period as "L.A. Turnaround". It features Nesmith on vocals and guitar and Red Rhodes on the pedal steel, and is another great collection of songs.
