Scottish folk hero Bert Jansch displays his evocative acoustic guitar skills and vocal grace on Jackson C. Frank`s "Blues Run The Game" for Dusty Wright's One-Takes. One-Takes are a series of songs by artists you know, should know, or will know very soon. Here's my interview with Bert: http://youtu.be/Cs-WlU2CwnI

  • Is that a small condenser Mic hes using for his guitar ??? sounds great !!

  • @bevanmcg That's one of my special Sony mics that I carry with me on shoots. I've had excellent success with it. Used it with Colin Devlin and a few more of my One-Takes.

  • Thanks. You might enjoy the interview I conducted with him at the same time. peace, Dusty

  • Thanks. It was real honor. When I interviewed him that day he was schedule to open for Neil Young that evening in NYC. I wasn't sure if he'd even play. We decided to conduct the interview and if he felt like playing a tune we'd record it. It was just me, my cameraman Wes, Bert's wife, and his PR dude. Suffice to say, he was riveting.

  • A good cover of a song written by a little known American musician Jackson C. Franks who lived in England. His first album was produced by Paul Simon…

  • Oh this is SO beautiful - the words are wonderful and the guitar sublime.

  • one of musics true geniuses R.I.P Bert Jansch

  • What a wonderful piece of music this is, and what a fabulous guitar player. Too good for words.

  • @yongadog I'll second that. Well said.

  • RIP Bert Jansch....i was deeply saddened to hear of your unexpected death back in October...wish i could have seen u before u went. Hears to a truly legendary guitarist the world hardly knew! RIP

  • One of the best songs I have heard. In such a long time, I cannot even remember the last time i heard a song THIS good.

    All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side. - Marguerite Young
