Six originals alternately for nylon-string classical guitar and grand piano, with JB’s own subtle vibraphone and B3 organ overdubs. Genevieve Beaulieu sings on And I Have Come Upon This Place By Lost Ways.

Still a blast of fresh air. Profoundly influential late-50s, early-60s recordings of rare southern English harmony singing from the Copper Family, which can trace its roots in traditional song back at least two hundred years. Gems about labour, nature, sex, beer, the weather, wandering… Hard Times Of Old England is here.

With Matt Sweeney.

Live in Scotland with Alex Neilson and Harem Scarem.

Back in business, with his best outing for a while, this is class.
Fine songwriting, steeped in its own version of Americana (Don Williams, late Elvis), and richly produced.
