Live in Kyoto 1978

Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a newbie or an old guard in the world of John Renbourn, Live in Kyoto 1978 showcases the talent and magnetism of a celebrated legend in the midst of his prime on a particularly hot night a long way from home. John's stunning rendition of the oft-covered English trad number, The Cuckoo, proves this point fantastically. His swift finger-picking sounds as if the guitar is playing itself and renders the packed crowd absolutely speechless - a singular effect of Renbourn's gift. On this night (as on many others, we assume), the audience and performer were united as one. This live version of The Cuckoo could be one of Renbourn's most enchanting performances ever!
