Sir John Alot was a purely instrumental album from folk guitarist John Renbourn. It comprises a mixture of jazz, blues and folk played in a medieval musical style.
“Anyone with just the slightest love for guitar music should own an album by Renbourn. This is from his early period, and it showcases his technique and style with wit and humour. This album makes a perfect document of his music.”
“A truly beautiful album of instrumentals. My only complaint is that its a bit short. An excellent buy for anyone interested in folk/acoustic guitar work or haunting instrumentals.”
“Sir John Alot is arguably Renbourn's best solo work - if you don't care for his voice, then this album is a treat because it's 100% instrumental. You do get a very strong medieval feel with many of the tracks.”
“A superb instrumental album which covers early music, folk, jazz and R & B. John Renbourn remains a brilliant guitarist.”
“Renbourn's first excursion into early music, and it's one of the loveliest things in my collection. As light as the flickering flame of a candle, with a hushed, fragile atmosphere, it's perfect late night listening, and Renbourn plays divinely, of course.”
“A collection of tunes featuring the nimble guitar skills of John Renbourn, plus the odd bit of percussion and some flutes. A couple of tracks sound medieval, while a couple are more straight folk, while others sound a bit goatee-bearded chin-stroking type music.”
“I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of folk guitar heroics, but this is a pretty decent collection. Given the limited instrumentation, it sounds pretty varied and doesn’t outstay its welcome.”
