Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Mike Nesmith, 'L.A. Turnaround' shows the legendary British folk guitarist Bert Jansch effectively adapting his intricate, peerless 'folk baroque' style to a more Americanized, singer-songwriter format. The result is a uniquely mellow, pastoral record that retains the technical brilliance and intimate vocal delivery characteristic of his best work.
