New Bert Jansch ‘Best Of’ Compilation Announced

Compiled by Bernard Butler and the Bert Jansch estate...

A new 'Best Of' focussing on the career of Bert Jansch has been announced.

The 'Just A Simple Soul' compilation focusses on the guitarist's five decade career, from those sparse early albums, through his Pentangle years, his time in the wilderness, and his late-career rejuvenation as a deeply influential musician.

Released on October 26th via BMG, the 'Best Of' was pieced together by Bernard Butler and the Bert Jansch estate.

Available on 2CD and 2LP as well as digitally, advance orders for the record will gain a 2LP + Tote bag set.

Bernard Butler explains: "Bert lived and breathed the sound of the guitar and its endless possibilities for communication, storytelling, conversation, emotional dialogue. We have a life’s work here, and what a life Bert Jansch has given us."
