Moonshine is the eighth album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released shortly after his departure from Pentangle.

Although the cover painting suggests the booze-oriented interpretation for the title of this album, its sound feels like mostly related to nature and country ambiance to me. Building up this impression we find here a considerable congregation of instrumental talents, among which I particularly enjoy woodwinds & recorders.

As for Bert's own songwriting craftmanship, what can I say that's not been already said? Alternative tunings for his acoustic guitar, early english music reminiscences, uniquely sounding pastoral settings, modal flavoured vocal melodies, it's all there.

No doubt, this is excellent, and maybe a bit prog too
