John Renbourn
Mon Jan 08, 2018 1:40 pm
The crown goes to John K for this one. What do I mean by that you say? Well. He was the one who got me into Mr Renbourn back in 2012, thus showing me his critically acclaimed '68 album - "Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musik Thyng And Ye Grene Knyghte". From that day on it changed my life regarding music and playing. John Renbourn was quite a guy, hey!
Unfortunately John passed in 2015. However, I was lucky enough to see him live in 2012 at the Mac theater in Birmingham, right at the front, row A (I filmed it) ... It blew me away !
I have used John's music here and there via my MR videos the last 5 years of filming for my channel. I have also over the years obtained many rare and cool vinyls from Renbourn, all being superb!
This was the first John Renbourn song I ever heard, "Lady Goes To Church", cheers John!

Love this track from SJAoMEMT&YGK. The recorders on the JR composition "Morgana" (all courtesy of David Munrow, misspelled Monroe on the album cover) are wonderfully limpid, particularly at 2:10. Terry Cox plays African drums and Roderick Skeaping bass viol.

A splendid track from one of his best albums (imo). I have two original '68 mono pressings of that album on vinyl. One in mint condition and one not.
The track "Morgana" I actually used for one of my MR vids back in 2013.Thanks for reminding me, John!

Beautiful track there, Rich. Not that you'd expect anything else from Mr. Renbourn.

Exactly! He was the best in his field in my opinion. Glad I saw him live before he died in 2015, though! RIP.

Couldn't agree more.

This is a brilliant tribute to JR. I love how he plays John's classics so well. Especially where he plays "Three Pieces By O'Carolan" at 11:47.

Always loved the groove on this one. I seem to be playing it more recently than I ever did...
