{"product_id":"jansch-bert-living-in-the-shadows-cd-0923610147","title":"Bert Jansch - Living in the Shadows [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour CD set. Signifying a return to form that heralded one of the most prolific periods of his life, this special collection features some of Jansch's finest work. Living In The Shadows includes an extra disc of demos, alternate versions and never-before heard tracks, transferred from Jansch's personal tapes, alongside the three studio albums of the 1990s: The Ornament Tree, When The Circus Comes To Town and Toy Balloon. This trio of works represents quite different facets of Jansch's talent; where Circus is a bluesy, late-night sounding party, Ornament is altogether more subdued, drawing on Maggie Boyle's bodhran, flute and whistles to creative a sound that is nothing if not celtic. Toy Balloon falls somewhere in the middle, with that feeling of intimacy that is so Bert. Despite these apparent contrasts, the unifying element is of course, Jansch's guitar. There is an ease about these albums that suggests a musician that has found himself very at home-\"just a simple soul\", to quote the man himself. The real draw here for many Jansch fans will be disc four: unreleased tracks (including - let joy be unconfined! - one with John Renbourn), as well as alternative takes of familiar songs from the '90s period. Chosen specifically for their contrast to the studio versions, these tracks are often more stripped-down or without the embellishment typical of the era. Mostly recorded at Bert's home studio, this unheard and unreleased collection, transferred from Bert's own DAT tapes, has a intimate quality that is incredibly moving.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ornament Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Banks O'Sicily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rambling Boys of Pleasure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rocky Road to Dublin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Dreamers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mountain Streams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Blackbirds of Mullamore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadyfair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Road Tae Dundee 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTramps and Hawkers 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe January Man 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDobbins Flowery Vale 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk Quietly By 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Road 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Home 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn One Around 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep Around 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep Back 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the Circus Comes to Town 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer Heat 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust a Dream 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Doctor from Ashington 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteal the Night Away 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney Don't You Understand 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn with the Blues 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorning Brings Peace of Mind 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiving in the Shadows 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Moved Through the Fair 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Got 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBett's Dance 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToy Balloon 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaitin ; Wonderin 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey Doc 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Talking Lady 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper House 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn and Bred in Old Ireland 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow It All Came Down 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust a Simple Soul 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorning Brings Sweet Peace of Mind 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Home 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust a Dream 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Instrumental 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the Circus Comes to Town 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-One Around 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLily of the West 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFool's Mate 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper Houses 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Star 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Max 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerry Priest 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Instrumental 2 (Early Attempt with John Renbourn) 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Instrumental 2 (With John Renbourn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"705","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50791165329704,"sku":"80923610147","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3492009.jpg?v=1763992137","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/jansch-bert-living-in-the-shadows-cd-0923610147","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
