Title: Best of Bert: New and Old
Product review: This is the finest album from true original Bert Jansch for many a year: as a bonus it includes some of his classic tracks which fully justify his near-legendary status. On some of the new songs he is ably (if a little reverentially) assisted by guitar heroes Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler, whose contributions complement Bert's wonderfully distinctive guitar style beautifully. If you haven't heard Bert play electric before, prepare to be impressed. The choice of material is excellent; thought-provoking and mature songs from a master of his craft. Standouts are the gentle "Caledonia" and the anti-war "Fools Mate", along with a lovely reading of "October Song", written by his old friend Robin Williamson. A thouroughly rewarding album.
