Jansch's solo numbers make it clear that his nimble acoustic picking and rueful musings need no accompaniment. [20 Oct 2006, p.81]
-
Though it's thinned with age, Jansch's voice has a warm, wizened tone that suits The Black Swan's introspective, emotionally naked material.
-
It's on solo turns like "High Days"... that the elder statesman resounds much like... Bob Dylan recently did, stymieing a new generation with his continued craftsmanship. [Dec 2006, p.93]
