RENBOURN, JOHN - Faro Annie (Sealed) (CD)

This is John Renbourn's fifth and most blues influenced album, backed by the Pentangle rhythm section of Terry Cox and Danny Thompson. The singer/guitarist often takes a folk-rock approach, and often investigates American folk songs, on 'Faro Annie', beginning with the traditional 'White House Blues', a song about the 1901 assassination of President William McKinley. Next is 'Buffalo Skinners' another traditional piece made famous by Woody Guthrie. Then there is 'Country Blues', a piece arranged by Jansch and Renbourn but it has its roots in American folk blues and the Appalachian Tradition. 'Faro Annie' has a unique atmosphere unlike any other of his albums. TRACKLIST: 1. White House Blues 2. Buffalo Skinners 3. Kokomo Blues 4. Little Sadle 5. Shake, Sake Mamma 6. Willy O'winsbury 7.
