Companion Piece To 1966's Jack Orion Reissued On Vinyl LP!
World renowned guitarist Bert Jansch has long been celebrated for his innovative playing style, influencing generations of musicians and fans alike.
A companion piece to 1966's Jack Orion, The Ornament Tree is newly reissued with liner notes from Colin Harper, who wrote the biography of Bert and the new folk Revival, Dazzling Stranger. Bert's eighteenth studio album comprises Scottish and Irish traditional songs. Filled with ballads like the title song and instrumentals "The Rocky Road To Dublin" and "Lady Fair", tradition is threaded throughout with the accompaniment of Celtic fiddles, flutes and bodhran. It features performances from Maggie Boyle, Peter Boyle, Steve Tilston and Michael Klein.
It's been over 30 years since The Ornament Tree's initial release; here Jansch continues to prove his importance in contemporary folk with this timeless and invigorating offering.
