"As much of a great guitarist as Jimi was, Bert Jansch is the same for acoustic guitar, and my favorite." That's the money quote about Bert Jansch, courtesy of Neil Young. The 64 year old Jansch was a key figure in the Brit folk scene of the '60s, and is hero to the neo-longhairs of the freak folk scene these days. He made a surprisingly strong return to form with The Black Swan last year, which featured Beth Orton on a couple of cuts. He's at Johnny Brenda's tonight, with P.G. Six.
