Originally released in 2006, The Black Swan was Jansch's last studio album, bookending his tremendous contribution to music. Available on colored vinyl as part of Bert Jansch 80, celebrating the enduring legacy of Bert Jansch's peerless guitar playing and songwriting. An important release that sees Jansch's revered style boosted by musical admirers Beth Orton, Devendra Banhart, Otto Hauser, Helena Espvall and Noah Georgeson. Featuring sentimental ode "High Days," beautiful title track, instrumental "Hey Pretty Girl" and the country-spirited "Texas Cowboy Blues."
