SO EARLY IN THE SPRING

Supremely well played and just as well produced, "So Early in the Spring:" sees JOHN RENBOURN returning to that strange brew of acoustic blues and early English and celtic folk after a decade or more of homebodiness. Is it necessary? Maybe not. Is it good? Definitely yes.

Suitable mostly for guitarists and the more committed fans who don't mind reinterpretations of earlier PENTANGLE or Renbourn work, which was always a downside to the fruit of this family tree, enough accomplished first timers in the form of the more Scottish than a Scotsman's "Lindsay", the quaint "To Glastonbury", and the Americana of "the Young Man can't Hoe Corn" all help save this from an early dismissal or, I might add, a lone airing.
