Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Folk legend's 1975 album including bonus tracks. Santa Barbara Honeymoon was Jansch's second album for Charisma Records and was recorded in Los Angeles. Jansch is an innovative and accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter. His solo work is extremely influential as is his recordings as a founding member of Pentangle. The bonus tracks include a previously unreleased alternate version of 'Build Another Band' and five previously unreleased live tracks from Live at Montreux July 1975.

This review is from: Santa Barbara Honeymoon (Audio CD)

I bought this as an LP back in the early eighties - used, as it was difficult to find a new copy to procure at the time, and I have to say I was underwhelmed by the material and the band he chose to accompany him on this third Charisma Records excursion. With 30 years passed I can safely say I was quite wrong in my judgement of this fine, fine album. Sure, there are some unexpected production touches that seemed jarring at the time: spacey synth on Mary and Joseph, steel drums and horns, etc. Now I can see these were very appropriate and complemented the arrangements with good result. I used to cringe at You are My Sunshine - now I find it to be a really emotionally touching song with some fine backing vocals from the other musicians. Of course Blues Run the Game is also a marvelous song by one of his favorite songwriters, the late Jackson C. Frank - and a song he would later revisit on his live CD Downunder. The remastering is splendid on all the Charisma releases, but the real bonuses are the live tracks recorded in 1975 at Montreaux, especially the live version of When the Teardrops Fell which I personally prefer over the studio version from the album proper. I am very pleased that I had a chance to re-evaluate this recording, especially considering my early reluctance to pick it up when I saw it was going to be made available again.
