One of the long-standing collaborations of the British folk revival,
Bert Jansch and
John Renbourn's
Bert and John sees the masterful
Pentangle guitarists sparing together through their trademark steel-string guitar styles. Their respective solo careers established them both as leading troubadours of British Isles folk, with little debate and few peers, besides maybe
Wizz Jones and
Ralph McTell. On this album the duo finds good company in each other's techniques, which are quite indistinguishable in both guitar playing and singing through traditional adaptations, blues, and originals in the Anglo-folk style. The duo plays beautifully together in a candid setting. ~ Sylvie Harrison
