Bert Jansch Living In The Shadows Part 2: On The Edge...

Comprising Jansch's three studio albums from the 2000s (Crimson Moon; Edge Of A
Dream; The Black Swan), alongside an additional disc of demos and unreleased
material. Both studio albums and DAT transfers remastered by Brian Pyle. Comes
with high-quality download code. 4LP book-back, download card included. 4CD 24-
page hardback book. This remarkable anthology documents some of Jansch's finest
work, and a man at the top of his game, some forty years(!) after his first release.
From the brooding resonance of Crimson Moon (where Jansch is joined by Johnny
Marr, Bernard Butler and Johnny "Guitar" Hodge, as well as son Adam Jansch and
Bert's wife Loren Jansch) to the intimacy of Edge Of A Dream (Bernard Butler, Hope
Sandoval, Dave Swarbrick, Ralph McTell, Johnny "Guitar" Hodge, Paul Wassif, Adam
Jansch and Loren Jansch) to the wondrous new folk / trad folk harmony of Black Swan
(Beth Orton, Devendra Banhart, Kevin Barker, Helena Espvall, Paul Wassif), these
seemingly very different albums all speak of one thing: Bert's natural talent for turning
out extraordinary music, regardless of genre. Disc four, The Setting Of The Sun, takes
in more demos and unreleased material. These peeks into Jansch's recording process
are fascinating, with his home studio lending itself perfectly to any recording fancy he
might arrive at. Liner notes by Bernard Butler and Bert's son Adam, while a
comprehensive listening guide (by esteemed journalist, Dave Henderson) is also
included.
