DORRIS HENDERSON & JOHN RENBOURN: THERE YOU GO!

This is an anomaly both in the RENBOURN catalogue and for a prog rock audience, the first of 2 collaborations between American born British based folk singer DORRIS HENDERSON and the master fretter. The subsequent year saw "Watch the Stars", in which Renbourn received credit but not even second billing. Henderson has a stirring soulful voice with a hereditary gospel panache that is a fascinating when applied to the more folky pieces ("Sally Free and Easy", "The Water is Wide") but unremarkable in the bluesy covers ("The Lag's Song", "American Jail Song"). With Renbourn's stellar accompaniment on all, it could be postulated that this seemingly insignificant work motivated him to favor British Isles folk over his early American blues excursions going forward in his solo career, just as PENTANGLE was assembling and occupying a third half of his brain. There you go!
