★ Michael Nesmith & Red Rhodes — Pictured on the back of L.A. Turnaround by Bert Jansch, 1974

This is the first piece of music i'm putting up in stores in over a decade. It's called Bert's Blueslide.

If you know, you know, if you listen closely you'll eventually find out, and there is a good chance you'll find out while you're not even listening to it.

You might recognize something.

I'll post respective links as they become available on apple, spotify, etc.

Otherwise, you can listen to it early here.

The Bert Jansch Conundrum - In Concert (Athens, Ohio, 1980)

More Jansch! After Danny Thompson passed away a few weeks back, I had to go back to Avocet, the wondrous instrumental LP Bert recorded with Thompson and multi-instrumentalist Martin Jenkins in the late 1970s. It still sounds so good.

I also wanted to revisit this very sweet hour-long performance, taped in front of a live studio audience in Athens, OH, featuring Jansch, Jenkins and bassist Nigel Portman-Smith — AKA the Bert Jansch Conundrum. It comes and goes on ye olde YouTube, but it's up in its entirety for now!

The whole thing is a delight from start to finish with a bunch of great moments: a killer "Ask Your Daddy," a lovely rendition of Avocet's "Bittern," and best of all, a unique "Running From Home" with Jansch and Jenkins singing in a cool round, circling each other beautifully.
