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.
