Bert Jansch - The Black Swan (RSD 2021)

This is a Records Store Day 2021 release.

1000 copies pressed on Silver vinyl & DL card. 15th Anniversary reissue The Black Swan on silver vinyl for Record Store Day. Originally released in 2006, The Black Swan was Janschs last studio album bookending his tremendous contribution to music. An important release that sees Janschs revered style boosted by musical admirers Beth Orton, Devendra Banhart, Otto Hauser, Helena Espvall and Noah Georgeson. Featuring sentimental ode High Days, beautiful title track, instrumental Hey Pretty Girl and the country spirited Texas Cowboy Blues. Beth Orton accompanies with her mesmeric vocals on When The Sun Comes Up, traditional folk song of withered glory Katie Cruel that has been brilliantly rearranged and features Devendra Banhart. Janschs extraordinary perceptive lyricism and exceptional songwriting makes The Black Swan a vital record in his canon. Track listing: Side One. 1 The Black Swan 2 High Days 3
