Bert Jansch & John Renbourn

Bert Jansch (1943–2011) and John Renbourn (1944–2015) were influential British folk guitarists who collaborated in the mid-1960s and were founding members of the band Pentangle.

Jack Orion (1966) is presented as an album largely made up of traditional pieces; John Renbourn accompanies on four tracks and replaces Jansch on the opening 'The Waggoner's Lad' (as noted in the review). Both musicians are noted figures in the 1960s British folk revival and were founding members of Pentangle. The review also references the influence of traditional pieces such as 'Blackwater Side' on later rock artists.

The available review praises Bert Jansch's acoustic guitar work on Jack Orion (1966) and notes John Renbourn's accompaniment on several tracks. Jack Orion is described as an album of mostly traditional pieces, highlighted for its fingerpicking and arrangements. The review strongly recommends the album to fans of British folk.
