I recommend the album Cruel Sister, released in the Spring of 1971. My favorite cut on the album is Lord Franklin. Both Renbourne and Bert Jansch have a number of solo albums out over 30 plus years. Great stuff!!!

Used to enjoy him, and Pentangle.
Also Fairport Convention.
Am still a huge Richard Thompson fan (I realize his own music is a bit different.)
Steeleye Span is good as well.

I have a number of his albums and several compilation tapes that include his works. For 13 years, I attended Renaissance and medieval faires, always in garb. I carried my bowed psaltery to nearly all of them, as well as other reenactment events, where i would sit and play, sometimes for stoppersby. My repertoire included a number of pieces learned from Renbourn.

To listen to him is like stepping back in time. I can close my eyes and picture walking through a faire~preferably Bristol Renaissance Faire, my heaven on Earth, one of the few places I would like to be besides home.

I don't have any of Pentangle's albums, but I listen to them on YouTube.

I saw Renbourn with Stefan Grossman and Ralph McTell at Town Hall in NYC a hundred years ago. Renbourn was brilliant on guitar, but Ralph stole the show.
