Bert jansch - October Song

[getarslim]

This is the definitive version of October Song, Bert was a truly great and inspirational guitarist, ISB wish they could have played like this. I was a big fan of ISB and saw them play live several times.

October is the month of much death, and therefore much life. Always been my favorite. Bert were gonna miss you all the months of the year.

What a wonderful rendition of a wonderful song - didn't think anyone could beat Robin's version but this is great.

RIP Bert. You were the best accoustic guitarplayer I've known.

[mouldybear]

A great song by Robin Williamson on The Incredible String Band's

first album. Not quite up to Robin's original but still wonderful. RIP.

nice version but williamson's guitar's better.

[AnomicDeadDisciple]

one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, one where I never even thought of looking for another version...this one is...just...so...absolutely...­perfect.

That, and his guitar playing is one of the most uniquely organic, complex intoxicating and completely his and his alone.

To accomplish that with a steel string acoustic is something special...beyond anything I can say to do it justice...it speaks for itself so much the words and stories almost seem like a bonus

Slainte, Bert, pure magic

[jbearden]

perfect.

[BarefootBaby]

First time i've heard this version - gorgeous. I think i'll always love Robin Williamson's version best but this comes verrrrry close.

[adamkotta888]

What a great version of this song. It'll be here in 3 weeks: turning leaves, the smell of wood smoke, and hopefully an end to this damn heat.

[sumerisle]

amazing

[smeghead1851]

[zimmerface]

Does anybody know where this song originally came from? I thought it was The Incredible String Band.

[VrindavanaChandra]

It's by Robin Williamson originally :)
