Bert Jansch

Decent

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, its like soft acoustic folk music. Thought I was gonna hate it. Prob worth a 2.5

Not interesting

- vibrato is controlled but a little trying - strong genre album, variety and atmosphere are good - no standouts but consistent

Disco que se escucha fácil, ideal para un viaje tranquilo en coche o un paseo de desconexion.

Pleasing- good Sunday afternoon listening

This definitely has a 60's folk vibe. It's mostly soft folk with a few instrumentals. It's great to just put on repeat and have as background music. My favorite song was Needle of Death.

Nice easy listen

I never heard this one before. It’s good , but not top 1000 in my mind.

Does what it says on the tin. 60s era folk singer. Could see this influencing fleet foxes

Hard not to like. It was nice. None of the songs really stood out to me, but I enjoyed it. I don't know why this album made the list when there are hundreds just like it. I hope to listen again but not sure if I would seek it out to listen again.

Quite dated even for folk and its age compared to other folk of the time. The accent annoyed me, very American. Also lyrics seemed very bland it tried to be political but he didn't seem to have a voice enough to say anything of note. 1 - terrible, can't stand any of the songs.

Inoffensive background music

I can hear how this album influenced Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, etc. Great acoustic guitar playing, and great folk music.

skillful bluesy folk, inject this shit into my veins. surprised he's British

chulo ns

(2.5)

Nah I’m good

Paar nice Instrumentals

2 1/2

Good album…nothing special in my opinion

Stellenweise ziemlich Pog Akustik Guitar Parts Aber sonst etwas zu ruhig und zu viel Folk

The Guitar work on Smokey river is so good. This albums feels like would I listen to if I was a hobo drifting trains. But on a serious note, I feel like I can feel this albums influence on a lot of my favorite music. Needle of Death is just amazing honestly. I find it absoluely haunting. A proper rambling album.

Good music

It was a lot better than I was expecting. Made me wish I was sitting with friends around a campfire.

boring

Good old folk

Man this was terrible

I listened to the re-mastered version of this album. It is folk-y and old school guy. Acoustic guitar noodling. Single is called Angie, which is excellent. The rest of the album is good!

Was nice an folky but not a lot of lyrics. I really liked it when i was making dinner

Usually not a huge folk fan, but I really enjoyed this album!

Good grief!!

Love this album considering the time of release and clear influences on musicians that followed. The songwriting is very good and the guitar playing in particular is amazing.

Excellent guitar work, the styling reminds me of Nick Drake and Donovan. Interesting voice too, as it's far from perfect, but seems to produce an image of a rambling guitar player, someone you might see playing your local pub on a Wednesday night.

This is a really robust and enjoyable folk record. I really love his guitar work. I can hear some John Fahey, but perhaps a little less intricate. Favourite song: Finches 3.5/5

Muy folk, tranqui, melancólico boni. Me gustó

Interesting. I wouldn't have listened to this otherwise. I wonder what the rest of folk music was like at the time? (1965) Not sure if how unique / different it would have been. Can see it / him as a big influence in modern guitarists.

I loved it. Good melodies and very folky with great guitar playing. This is exactly my kind of jam.

I’m not generally a folk fan, but I enjoyed this album. There was a propulsive quality to it that carries each song into the next, and I very much enjoy that. Nice find

Folk

Travis picking, great guitar playing. Very Nick Drake like, must have inspired him a lot. Nice album.

Soy muy fan de Angie, el temazo que cierra este disco pero la verdad nunca me había clavado a escuchar un disco entero del viejo Bert. Qué tonto he sido. Un disco crepuscular, para ver el sol desaparecer y que pinte el cielo como sus arpegios pintan los espacios dentro de mi mente. Es mejor que un calmante psiquiátrico. Muy bonito. Hay varios momentos muy oscuros. Se agradece. Uno de los mejores guitarristas de la historia. Le dio una vida nueva a esa tradición de ambos lados del Atlántico. Country, blues, folk céltico, anglosajón, etc. Tradición que luego veo ecos, no sé si por casualidad, en los corridos actuales.

Pretty folk rock, I like his voice, the way it moves and flows from softer moments into more upbeat and rocking. skillful player as well. will come back

I started off thinking this was ok but it didn't really keep my attention. Got a bit bored after a few songs.

Eh was OK, nothing too exciting

Bored me.

He’s a really good guitar player but not quite as good of a singer. It was still pretty good even if the songwriting didn’t blow my mind. Even the instrumental songs were pretty engaging though and there weren’t any songs I disliked although some of the vocal performances I didn’t love all that much. Overall the album feels very comforting and even on sad songs it feels hopeful to me. Favorite songs: Smokey River, Oh How Your Love Is Strong, Needle of Death, Rambling’s Gonna Be The Death of Me, Running From Home, Angie Decent 8/10

A twangy and catchy album. 0RS

Meh..... Maybe Bert was da shit back then but now he be just background filler. I give him two and a half Ernie's

Interesting. I never heard of this artist but can see why he was influential

Pleasant folk album. Songwriting was good overall and I really liked the guitar work in some parts. However, it got samey and i definitely found myself getting bored towards the end. 7/10

Didn't quite finish. Enjoyed it but didn't love it. 7

I really didn't like the music -- it all sounded the same to me -- but I feel bad about it this time because I feel like he was really talented at playing the instruments.

Not bad! Folksy, with some Gordon Lightfoot vibes.

pretty good actually! I liked it more than I expected, and the vibe it gave off really reminded me of the canadian national film bureau movies I was watching

5/10. Pleasant background music, but boring.

Muy melancólico. Tampoco es como que sea mucho estilo el folk y tenga mucho que decir, disfruté la guitarra acústica. Mood: día sad en una milpa gringa.

Alice´s Wonderland is nice!

vaya rollo...

L'he escoltat amb presses, queda pendent una escolta amb més profunditat. Folk de la vella escola, delicat i amb missatge. Bona execució amb les guitarres i un grapat de temes interessants.

It sounds like every other singer-songwriter album. 7

Good thing this was remastered in 2015. I can clearly hear that I probably won't ever listen to this again.

First two tracks are quite strong, the rest are not great. 3/10

Este álbum lo dejaría sólo en moods muy específicos, para no decir que me aburrió de repente. O sea, mmm, la mayoría de las canciones es como el wey que en la fiesta saca su guitarra cuando todos están pedos o drogados. Su voz se me hizo medio meh y las letras 2-2. Creo que prefería las instrumentales, acaso "Veronica" y "Casbah" sean las que me gustaron y eso como música de fondo. No lo volvería a escuchar y pues no me emocionó como para buscar más de Bert Jansch (que vi, además, tiene un chingo de material). 6/10

Overall not my style of music. A couple pretty instrumental guitar songs but not a fan of the rest.

Good backgroundy stuff, but not my thing

I really enjoy this style of guitar playing. His influence is big, but from the perspective of 2021, the album is not bad nor great as no song stands out, other than the legendary Angie.

false

Nice album, good sound, obviously knows his way around the guitar. Glad I listened, reasonable background music, but otherwise there's nothing here to pull me in.

det var ait, likte instumentalene mer enn selve synginga.

Jansch er jo en helt for alle som spilte akustisk gitar på 60-tallet. Nick Drake, Paul Simon, Donovan, og mange andre har så godt som kopiert hele sin sound og spillemåte fra ham, og dette albumet. Bakdelen med dette er at det er utrolig vanskelig å høre dette albumet i et vakuum. Enten vurderer man det for høyt fordi det var en så stor influens på så mye bra musikk, eller så blir dette for kjedelig siden det finnes så mye mer komplekst musikk som kom ut ifra denne. Uansett synes jeg mange av sangene er kule, og det er ingen tvil om at det er bra spilling. Må bli en svak 4.

Listened on Thursday when I was in a bad mood and this largely slid off my brain without leaving an impression. Listened again today when I was more receptive, and I had a much more positive experience. There are a few artists I love that have a similar guitar sound, but tend to be instrumental. Fave track " Instrumental Medley 1964" which is possibly a bonus track rather than being on the original album? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just boring. Sure, it's folksy and unoffensive, lyrics are interesting... but 15 songs in 40 minutes of the same tones and finger picking. It just sounds the same. Blah.

super cool, and kind of interestingly timeless. it certainly doesn't feel like anything i'd think of from an album from 1964. i really like that - and this is gonna sound maybe kinda pretentious, but here goes - it sounds like he's playing on old strings. like, on a lot of albums you can just about smell the new nickel, but these just sound like whatever he had on - no super tinny highs, not ultra-clean or anything, just a great warm sound.

Good folky music. 3 stars.

I very much enjoyed the instrumental tracks. Amazing artistry.

Folksy, seems pretty socially justicy which i like but I still don't enjoy folk music

How can you not love an honest man and his guitar?

my first 1 🥳🥳🥳

not my vibe a bit samey wouldn’t listen again

The album I'm listening to today is called "Bert Jansch" by Bert Jansch. A Scottish folksinger who looks to have influenced quite a long list of favorite artists with his mid 60s folk. It's pretty easy to connect Neil Young directly, which is to say I'm enjoying this. The confessional nature of the lyrics draw you in, and the guitar work is pretty dam spectacular. Reminds me of John Fahey with his guitar. It's a lovely album and I can see it ripple across many of my favorite folk artists.

Angie (instrumental)

Wow. Amazing acoustic sound. Nick Drake's inspiration, for sure.

This was great. Love a guitar picker. I've never heard of Bert Jansch but I'm a fan now. This is how I hear myself when I pick up a guitar, just before I touch the strings...

I had only heard "Angie" from this album before listening to the whole thing. Overall, album is OK. "Angie" is the best song on the whole thing.

Folksy and mellow. Very nice.

Ended up feeling like I was soldiering through this one- I'm not a huge fan of British folk it seems, and first Scottish band I've been disappointed on!

Amazing acoustic album. Will definitely listen to it again

This is so lovely. It's really understated, just a guy enjoying his guitar and a few songs. There are errors throughout, dud notes, something a bit off key, but that makes it better. It's like using something that's been handmade rather than manufactured. A log cabin in among a bunch of condos. Really relaxing, I like lots.

It was folk. It was ok.

I've never heard of Bert Jansch, but this was a pretty good folk album.

Old timey-sounding folk music. Kinda nice, also boring

Listened to this multiple times while doing homework, I’m here for it.

Decent album, great length, nice listening, just a bit too monotonous

Enjoyable album, reminded me a lot of Nick Drake's Pink Moon

Pretty solid folk album. Nice atmosphere and I love that there are some purely instrumental tracks. His playing was as good as his writing.

This looks like it's gonna be folk music. Yep, acoustic but not country really... ok according to Wiki it's Scottish though (I was expecting American). Guitar work is really cool, but it's hard to judge otherwise - feels too old-timey. 3/5.
