Burt was an incredible talent. He shook everyone up when he appeared in the USA on record in 1964.. The most haunting singer , guitarist songwriters, who ever picked a tune......An Icon who influenced many, many well known artists, on both sides of the pond. The simplicity of his voice woven around his , intricate, inventive, unmatched, eclectic, mesmorsing, guitar style. One of a kind... Thank you for your inspriation and influence Burt.... RIP buddy....

[knowledgeablewaffle]

An inspiration for my favourite band, R.I.P Mr Jansch.

[Pitsku]

Two dislikes. They must be dead by now.

[mickleesongs]

So much appreciation for the way Bert's music touched my life...I'm very grateful..

[hejafish]

Sleep peacefully Bert.

[gcorking12]

Extremely sad day! Another folk legend over looked by the masses.

[dadgadable]

@gcorking12 Very overlooked. However I don't he regrets/regretted that. He voluntarily kept himself on a low profile. 

[lynchola]

RIP Mr Jansch. First heard "Running From Home" when I was 14 - as beautiful now as it was then. Thankyou.

[Pitsku]

Tears...Bert just died. Loved him and his music.

It's like the guitar and his voice know each other very well.

[paulzyssental]

[montex23]

[Tomnjerry111]

Fantastic tune! Only a great tune can stand alone with just a vocal and an acoustic guitar. Well done:)

[jazmanicle]

[omkar53]

[fruitmuffin]

[Bigerjoel]

Un des meilleurs Album "acoustic" de tous les temps ! Sinon le meilleur... Joel B.

[sidensvans54]

Terrific Album..

[codehendrix]

Traffic Album..

[Pitsku]

One of the two masterpieces from Jansch's first album (the best first album of all time). The other is 'Ramblin's Gonna Be the Death of Me'....

[smellyinda]

I think it is very romantic, that he sang this to her, and her being so young too. Your auntie is a very lucky lady! What a journey, the stories and then finding yourself in his music. Magique !

[smoke117]

Romantic...or disturbing? lol.

[procyoncmi]

One of Jansch's best.

[wrongstring]

my auntie was going out with burt jansch.she run away from home in portsmouth when she was 14 .and ended up living in a flat with jansch and renbourn.she told me he wrote this song with her in mind and took her down to soho square to sing it to her.i remember her telling me about it before i had heard his music.when i got a record of his from her i wasnt expecting much.but was totally blown away on listening.

[jbearden]

oh that's a sweet story. certainly you must be proud and made happy by these sounds, my friend.

very cool.

[analogdesigner]

Thanks for the story!

[ironpuppy1]

did you say 14!

[wrongstring]

she was 16 i have been corrected.that is when she ran away.not sure how old she was when he sung the song.did sound a bit warped i agree.

[wrongstring]

she is pictured on the front of the( it dont bother me album)

[GrahamMc]

@wrongstring - Nice one!

[LilyTekseng]

@wrongstring You're Aunt's quiet a thing I reckon. :) Also, I think Bert Jansch is one of the most desirable man in music history.

[sabaqat]

@wrongstring Lynda Campbell?

[devilsclickingcanes]

Great song.

[cec51]

Okay - I "favorite-ed" it. I have been a fan of Jansch since I discovered his music at 15, in 1966, when I bought the "Lucky 13" album.... he is truly great!

[johnsaxby]

This was the first fingerstyle song I learned, at 16 or so, about '67; re this album, I always thought that when I could play Anji I'd be a good guitarist, then found that though I'd nailed it, there was still so much to learn. Decades later I'm still learning.......that what makes guitar (and all instruments I suppose) so great, it's a never ending journey. Thanks Bert for the inspiration you gave me.

[123four]

he did a duet with this with ralph mctell. Anyone got it?

[terribleyouth]

In the BBC doc "A Boy Called Donovan", D does a version of this, but plays it differently than Jansch, not changing the chord as Bert does, making it (I think) bland, lacking the magic of that major 7th chord, however briefly it sounds. I always thought that this sounded like a Donovan song, but I don't think D really got what it was about, so it truly belongs to Bert.

[BMXER1987]

this song is pure greatness i luv the lyrics and the guitar!!! why have only three people favourited and only 289 views this is a unknow jem!

[viking1au]

There!!!!!! I have added it to my favourites! In fact, I have known and loved this song for years, along with a lot of his music. He is indeed great; it is a pity there is so little video around of him.
