Bert Jansch



Walk Quietly By (1995)

'Walk Quietly By' is from Bert Jansch's 1995 album, When The Circus Comes To Town. Bert, who died last year, thankfully had a bit of a splendid renaissance in the 90's after quite a few creatively fallow years. All his albums from this period of re-birth are well worth hearing and owning but Circus is my personal favourite. I once had the good fortune to have to sit, literally, at the man's feet during one of his shows. It was quite mesmerizing.

Bert is one of a small list of artists no longer with us, headed by Roy Orbison incidentally, who I had a chance to see live, but, for one reason or another, didn't. A big regret.

This is beautiful.
