Frances Langford Double Feature / (B&W)

This 90 minute DVD captures thirty years of music by the brilliant John Renbourn. It follows him from the legendary London basement club ''Les Cousins'' to his work with Bert Jansch and their group Pentangle to his traditional/medieval adventures with The John Renbourn Group and to his duet performances with Stefan Grossman. As well as playing with others, John has also constantly been touring solo. This video chronicles his evolving growth as one of today''s foremost acoustic guitar masters

Robert Palmer writing in The New York Times said it best: "John Renbourn plays a lot of English, Scottish and Irish traditional music, and he plays it surpassingly well, with a robust sound and buoyant rhythm. But he is also an eclectic who is liable to throw in jazz pieces, revamped soul music and whatever strikes his fancy. He brandishes a haunting technique, but by and large he does not use it to daunt. His music is first of all a music of feeling."
