Not to my taste.
Ugh. Depressing. Boring. Don't want to hear again.
Oh no, not at all my style...made me cringe slightly. LOL!
Einschläfernder Folk
It just isn’t good. Doesn’t even have a nice old timey vibe to it
Not for me but i get it.
Did not like it at all.
This is a fantastic effort, an absolute masterpiece in making 38 minutes feel like 3, horribly long hours.
The grandfather of all the bed wetters with acoustic guitars. Dull AF.
Bert en zijn irritante kampvuurmuziek kunnen me gestolen worden.
Urgh.
1001 albums to bore you to death
Not my cup of tea.
This is not for me. It's like listening to a drunk hobo in an alley while you have a hangover.
Too folksy for my liking, that slow drawn out drawl for singing is not my cup of tea. There were some good guitar riffs and solos but really nothing to wow me at all. Best: Veronica Worst: Casbah
Folk crap
Nah all guitar strummy and a bit country, really didn't like
Frozen pizza. Store brand cereal. Day old donuts. When I was a kid (with the six years I had under my belt in 1965), we would taunt one another on the playground by one upping our fathers- Oh yeah, well my dad drives a tractor. So what, my dad’s a firefighter. And on it went until it was some poor kid’s turn whose father’s job was nothing to brag about, at which point the ace in the hole was played: Well, my dad could beat up your dad! And for some reason, and from that point on, that ‘dad’ became the standard. No offense intended at all towards Bert Jansch, a fine folk singer/songwriter in and for his time, but Bob Dylan just rendered you obsolete (as well as a lot of others). Anything you hear on this LP you may hear much deeper and fuller on any of Dylan’s first several recordings. My Dylan can beat up your Jansch. With one hand tied behind his back. (And, if you’re so inclined, contemplate the variety of meanings that illustration offers in a Dylan-esque way.) How is this a review of Bert, then, with all this Dylan talk? See, that’s the point. In a world where Dylan never existed, I’d give Bert a couple of stars, maybe three. Jansch’s acoustic guitar picking merits at least a star on its own. But for this listener, Dylan casts such a large shadow over his peers, all I can do is just gently, respectfully give it a single star and excuse myself from the table.

Awful. Like a first year dorm kid playing for smokes.
‘The record includes Jansch's best-known tune - "Needle of Death", which was inspired by the death of his friend, folk singer Buck Polly.’ Another cheery choon.
Very minimal Don't like the voice, lyrics, or music
Come back Bob Dylan - all is forgiven. Tripe.
Dumb 1/5
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.
Nah I’m good
Man this was terrible
Good grief!!
Bored me.
Good thing this was remastered in 2015. I can clearly hear that I probably won't ever listen to this again.
my first 1 🥳🥳🥳
not my vibe a bit samey wouldn’t listen again
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!
Does what it says on the tin. 60s era folk singer. Could see this influencing fleet foxes
