专辑介绍
by Chris Nickson
From the Outside has never featured much in Jansch's work, given that its original 1985 appearance was on a tiny Belgian label. This version, which is radically different from the 1993 CD version, ditches two songs from the original vinyl and adds another from the sessions (&Blackbird in the Morning&) that had previously been unreleased, along with two newer tracks, &River Running& and &High Emotion,& while &I Sure Wanna Know& had been on the original vinyl, but not the first CD release. To be fair, the recording didn't come at the best time in Jansch's career. He could still pick a wonderful guitar and sing, but this wasn't the happiest time in his personal life, as he was drinking heavily; songs like &Change the Song& were his cry from within to try and change. There's a definite starkness to the songs here, and not just the delivery -- which is just Jansch himself, no other musicians with him, unusually, playing banjo on the opening &Sweet Rose.& Highlights are &Blackbird in the Morning& -- how it ever failed to find release before is a mystery -- and the album's two instrumentals, &From the Outside& and the hanging closer, &From the Inside.& They fit well with what's essentially a very introspective set, sometimes almost maudlin (&Time Is an Old Friend&) or self-pitying (&Why Me?&). The angry young man of the '60s still rails on &Read All About It,& but it's a voice tempered by time and reveals itself fully on the bluesy &I Sure Wanna Know.& It's hard to call this classic Bert Jansch, but then again, it's not bad either -- how can it be, it's Bert Jansch?
