Another Monday was the follow up solo album from folk singer songwriter John Renbourn before he helped establish Pentangle, one of the leading British folk groups of the period.
“Another faultless John Renbourn album. This guy is really playing music for music’s sake and not for the money, or whether it will chart or not. The guitar playing is always musically and technically outstanding. John never tries to impress the audience by only playing fast by showing he's the best; the soul, tradition and technique always demonstrates that he is.”
“Fronted by one of Renbourn's most breathtaking blues tune, this record is a fantastic study in guitar playing. Renbourn's idiosyncratic sound and articulation shines all the way through. Every home should have one.”
“For me this is where it all began and here John took a major step forward in his fusion of folk, blues and classical guitar techniques. This LP is an essential for all guitar players.”
“The second solo from English guitar virtuoso John Renbourn. It is very much an English folk album with touches of American blues and, in the last track, a hint of gospel. Renbourn plays some amazing guitar, music which just runs from it like a stream as his fingers dance nimbly over the frets, with swirls, ripples and eddies in the current that just sweep you along.”
“His singing is soft, gentle, friendly. The whole tone is informal, it sounds just like a few friends getting together for an informal jam. It's a delightful record, really warm and friendly, accessible to anyone and not just hardened folkies.”
“A great album from John Renbourn that every young fingerstyle guitarist should listen to and aspire towards playing. Some of these now classic pieces such as Day At The Seaside and Lady Nothinge’s Toye Puffe are still a challenge to perform.”
