Disc 1
1. Sorry! No track list available at time of publication.
Gordon Giltrap represents a unique British musical talent having evolved a guitar style,which is as individual as his music is recognisable.His astonishing technique has enabled him to compose some of the most stunning acoustic guitar works of recent decades.
On this mini - album, Gordon plays tribute to his great friend and one of his formative influences,the innovative guitar stylist Bert Jansch.
Jansch has influenced many other guitarists including Pete Townsend,Johnny Marr,Roy Harper, Thurston Moore,John Renbourn,Jimmy Page and Bernard Butler who all pay tribute to him in a forthcoming Channel 4 documentary.Around the same time Colin Harper's biography of Bert will be launched.
Gordon is featured in the documentary and book and has Bert as his special guest when he plays London's Purcell Room on 2nd May.

 

Reviews

This mini album should, by its title alone, give you some idea as to what Mr. Giltrap is doing? It's a six track affair containing such numbers as Roots, Blackwaterside, and there's even The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, written by Ewan MaColl, and sung by Roberta Flack (and is still the best vocal version!). It might seem, at first glance in the credits, a bit odd. If this is a mini album dedicated to Jansch, then why is there only two originals, and one that Jansch arranged, with three others (even one by Giltrap himself)! It's actually not just the songs that Giltrap covers (obviously) it's the actual style, and he does it very well. An original idea, methinks. Giltrap's playing is, as always, exacting, and his choice of material is pretty good and dare I say, even his own, Roots, fits in well and bookends the album very well.
