the one good thing the internet is good for. discovering art from all around the planet. very glad to have saw this. it just feels right. thanks from Missouri.
essential judge - you are so right!! I have discovered so many amazing artists via RU-vid - and rediscovered others. to give an example of how artists who are linked (without my knowledge) have come to my ears - I searched for a guy I saw live at a small venue years ago in Sidmouth Devon - Peter Bruntnell - and Richard Thompson's daughter Kami came up. What?? I thought: here she is with a new band The Dead Flamingos - a duo - with her fiance. Turns out that this guy (now her husband) is James Walbourne - lead guitarist with the Pretenders and Peter Bruntnell's old lead guitarist - what a small world!!!
She looks like Charlotte Gaisbourg. Same faintly mad intensity around the eyes. Annie has held up marvellously. This music does not beat up your voice with the years, it carries your sound to meet with your years.
I will never forget the dark October night back in 2011 that he passed away. I remember it like it was yesterday, when I got the sad news I cried like a baby. Before that I don't think I'd cried since childhood and I don't think I have since, not even when my Mother passed away. I went out and drove around all night in the dark, I had a pickup truck at the time, I drove around the quiet countryside roads all through the night just listening to his albums. Bert's music always meant so much to me and much of what I learned about his life mirrored my own in ways. He really struck a chord with me, pun intended! I was quite late to his music quite late, during my early teenage years in some old English guitar magazine, I read an article about him and it just went from there. I bought everything I could find of him. I used to take the train to the city on my own on Saturdays just to spend the day trying out guitars in the guitar shops and looking for Bert Jansch stuff in the record/CD stores. Now it's all changed.. a few clicks you can get whatever you want. I think I was the last generation to experience that joy of finding an album in a store.. something you just couldn't wait to hear. Nowadays, while I'm no longer young, and fastly approaching forty, however my love for Bert's music is as great as ever, and I consider him my favourite acoustic guitarist of all time, by far. Of course, I love a lot of guys like Davy Graham, Dick Gaughan, Jackson C Frank, John Renbourne.. I appreciate them all but Bert always was my guy. He was always "my thing", I often tried to introduce my friends to him, but he never clicked with them like he did with me. They just couldn't appreciate his genius like I could. I find he is like that, under appreciated, somewhat of a cult guitarist, in a sense, and it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate Bert's greatness. I always know when someone loves Bert they must have great taste and knowledge of music.
@@Sinnerboy88 Bert Jansch est un des plus grand et important song writer qu'ait révélé la musique anglaise. A 75 ans je l'écoute toujours avec émotion. So long!
Holy s&%t it's Anne! What a wonderful surprise! I thought she gave up singing back in the 70's! God, what a voice. THANK You for sharing. (and Berts always a pleasure to hear too)
I’ve always loved Ann, recently got her LP and can’t praise enough. Such a beautiful voice and I love that it’s not wasted on throw away pop but gently played in harmony with the beautiful songs of days gone by. She is an angel. The first time I heard this recording I was blown away by how, even though she’s aged, her voice has remained to be so remarkably pure and magical. And Bert’s guitar playing too is phenomenal, never falters. This is a truly breathtaking performance from two legends. Can’t express my love in words
I so wish I'd have met this song as a young boy... I could've been listening to it my whole life! HA!!! Just gorgeous... Blessing to you Bert. See you on the other side.
Boy, talk about the influence Jansch had on Jimmy Page. Actually for an old geezer like me, I knew of Fairport Convention (1968), Pentangle, and John Renbourn and Sandy Denny just as Zeppelin came out.
@@nn-ro1lv Jimmy Page, well known for hijacking a tune, claiming it as his own. These are traditional songs. Everyone knows Page was Not honest in that way.
What a combination "of the two!" After many years (decades) of focusing on Renbournj I'm rediscovering the genius of Bert Jansch. Hard to believe neither one got the attention they should have received in America, but luckily there's lots of audio video to ingest and...Anne Briggs is a real light. Thanks for the trip.
Great that somebody mentions Hamish Imlach.Bert Jansch said that Hamish was the first folk singer hed seen perform.Hamish helped John Martyn and sang black is the colour to Christy Moore.Only heard about all the folkies mentioned on here in the last year or so.Kinda undergroundish musical style but should really be mainstream.Two weeks to xmas.thank folk for that
They say her beauty is faded now/Hard living and hard booze/But maybe that's just the price you pay/For the chains you refuse/She was a rare thing, as fine as a beeswing.

An perfect gem on an an unknowable crown... (go forth love, hope and passion) Lyrics: One evening fair to take the air Down by Blackwaterside 'Twas a-gazing all around me That the Irish lad I spied All through the far part of the night We did lie in sport and play When this young man arose and gathered his clothes Saying, "Fare thee well today" That's not the promise that you gave to me When you lay on my breast You could make me believe with your lying words That the sun rose in the west Go home, go home to your father's garden Go home and weep your fill And think on your own misfortune You brought on with your want and will For there's not a girl in this whole wide world As easily led as I And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry It is then that you'll marry I It is then that you'll marry I G~

@@classicguitarfan8 Anne Briggs said in Mojo magazine ‘94 that Bert Lloyd taught her this song and she taught Jaunch. The song is traditional, and Jaunch listed it as traditional himself. That being said, Page has mentioned in multiple interviews that he first heard it from Briggs and later from Jaunch. He’s never denied their influence.
@@zosomoso that may be so, but the fact remains that he borrowed heavily from Jansch's version and passed it off as Black "Mountain" Side by Jimmy Page. He has always dodged questions about all the stuff they lifted on the first two albums. I like Page and he was a guitar hero to me but I would like him more if he would finally give credit (and $) where it's due.
@@classicguitarfan8 I’ve never seen Page, Plant, or Jones dodge questions about the origins of their covers/references when asked - theyre always forthcoming and straightforward about it (even with BMS where he mentioned it came from Briggs/Jaunch). Out of their 100 studio tracks only 10 are covers or have referenced material and all of which has been properly credited since the 80s with back proceeds given. As for Black Mountain Side, the song is from the 16th century and is Celtic in origin. It doesn’t belong to Jaunch or Page, it is traditional - meaning it is public domain as Jaunch himself listed it.
there r the rare women who look prettier when they r older. sometimes the fine lines & wrinkles enhance their beauty. for me, she looks prettier here than she did in her "prime".
