Music Reviews of It Don't Bother Me
Music Review: a continuation of his first
Rating: 4 Stars
This, Jansch's second album, followed the landmark first's release by less than a year, still in 1965. It pretty much represents a continuation of the first, though here he plays a couple of works with John Renbourn on second guitar (the exotic North African-sounding vocal piece 'My Lover,' and the incredible instrumental 'Lucky Thirteen'), and the traditional piece '900 Miles,' on which he shows that he can play the banjo as well as the guitar. Other high points include the interesting solo instrumental 'The Wheel,' the chilling commentary title cut, and the more lighthearted 'As the Day Grows Longer Now.' Be ready for a couple of cuts that are not so strong, however. Still, with perhaps one more strong cut this release most likely would have had nearly the same effect as its predecessor had it been released first. Together, these two albums added to Davy Graham's pioneer work in setting the context for the notion of the "contemporary acoustic guitarist." For Jansch, in the next year it would be on to the beginnings of British folk-rock, with the albums "Jack Orion" and "Bert and John," and shortly thereafter, the coming together of Pentangle.
