Bert Jansch, A Man I'd Rather Be (Part 2), 4LPs UK Earth 2018 - EARTHLP024

Limited four LPs set in 24-page hardback book. A Man I'd Rather Be (Part II) comprises Jansch's late '60s and early '70s output, an under-rated era, no doubt influenced by the now well-established Pentangle sound. Bandmates Danny Thompson (bass) and Terry Cox (drums) regularly feature among the musicians as well as cameo appearances by Mary Hopkin, Toni Visconti and Dave Mattacks. In this period, we see Jansch's take on pop (Nicola), blues (Birthday Blues funnily enough), handsome arrangements (Rosemary Lane) and baroque folk (Moonshine).

Cofanetto limitato di quattro LP in un libro di 24 pagine con copertina rigida. "A Man I'd Rather Be (Part II)" comprende la produzione di Jansch tra la fine degli anni '60 e l'inizio degli anni '70, un periodo sottovalutato, senza dubbio influenzato dall'ormai consolidato sound dei Pentangle. I compagni di band Danny Thompson (basso) e Terry Cox (batteria) si esibiscono regolarmente tra i musicisti, così come apparizioni cameo di Mary Hopkin, Toni Visconti e Dave Mattacks. In questo periodo, assistiamo all'interpretazione di Jansch del pop (Nicola), del blues (Birthday Blues, curiosamente), degli arrangiamenti raffinati (Rosemary Lane) e del folk barocco (Moonshine).
