Robin Lent - Scarecrow's Journey (1970)

This is a classic 70's album with plenty of atmosphere and a uniqueness that of course has its influences, coming from James Taylor and Paul Simon among others. A seductive voice over simple and straight forward backings. Some brillant guitar work from Jan Ackermann and excellent flute and piano played by Tijs van Leer, two top Dutch musicians. Robin plays acoustic guitar and wrote all of the songs. Check out www.myspace.com/robinlent for more details on this obscure and talented artist. By Lennyroberts

French folk. Pierre’s first recording at the age of 17. Près de Paris was awardedthe Grand Prix du Disque for Folk Music at the Montreux Festival in 1976. Very folk orientated with an already distinctive, mature guitar style and musicality. All of Pierre trademarks are here. A classic, historical work, paving the way for many guitarists - even today.Doc Watson’s favourite.
