Best of Bert Jansch ReviewThis album was originally released by Transatlantic (and distributed by Kicking Mule in the U.S.) in 1979 with the same album cover, but with only thirteen tracks--and only eight of those show up on this generous 25-track anthology of Bert Jansch's work from 1965-1971, covering such albums as It Don't Bother Me, Jack Orion (with future Pentangle co-founder John Renbourn), Nicola, Birthday Blues and Rosemary Lane.
The Best of Bert Jansch includes instrumentals like "Perigrinations," "Alman" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"--all clocking in at under two minutes each. Then there's the bluesy interpretaion of Davey Graham's instrumental "Angie." In addition to being a gifted guitar player, his songwriting and expressive vocals on songs like "It Don't Bother Me" and "Needle of Death" make Jansch one of the most important folk artists of the 20th Century.
While Jansch's albums from the past two decades have been few and often go out of print (I would recommend 1981's Heartbreak and 1990's Ornament Tree), his early Transatlantic recordings are still readily available (many of them as two-fers). So if this album leaves you wanting more (and it should), I would suggest Rosemary Lane, Birthday Blues and his self-titled debut. HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDBest of Bert Jansch Overview

Sounds of Wood & Steel ReviewI had been searching for this album because I downloaded just one song from the web, Vince Gill's "How great thou art". It took me months to find out where it came from. The emotion in that one song, the way Vince plays it, is what drives me to play the guitar, if only I was that good! I don't really care for the taylor's advertizing a lot of good accoustical guitars out there. While the highlight will always be the song that sent me on the search in the first place, the rest is definately worth the price!Sounds of Wood & Steel Overview

Touch-Windham Hill 25 Years of Guitar ReviewThis album has quickly become one of my favorite instrumental albums. Long a fan of the Windham-Hill label, I'm of the opinion that this compilation offers some of the best guitar music around. This CD is masterful and richly rewarding. It contains some of the most soothing instrumental music recorded, and as one other reviewer aptly put it, it's a great stress reducer. The cuts from the masters Ackerman, deGrassi and Hedges are wonderful as any WH fan over the years has come to appreciate them. My favorite selection is however, Snuffy Walden's "Who Lives Up There". In my opinion it is just the most beautifully written and performed piece of acoustic guitar music period. It is such a technically wonderful recording as well. This cut is worth the price of the CD alone. Another favorite is David Culen's "On the Way". I am not as familiar with his work but I plan to check out other Cullen offerings soon. There is not a misstep on this entire hour-long CD. And to think I almost hesitated buying it.Touch-Windham Hill 25 Years of Guitar Overview
