The Dazzling Bert Jansch
Colin Harper, Independent, The, 23 June 2000
"MY INTEREST IN ALBUMS usually wanes around this point," says Bert Jansch, 57 this year and, for all the outward appearance of a man who never does anything in a hurry, still a bundle of restless creative energy. With Crimson Moon out next week – his twenty-first solo album proper, let alone a dozen with his sixties fusion band the Pentangle and its (now firmly past-tense) latterday reformations – he is already thinking about the next one.
