Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"The Ornament Tree" is the eighteenth album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released virtually simultaneously with another album, "Sketches". Recorded in 1990 at Heartbeat Sound, London and released on the Run River label,the album was produced by Michael Klein.
The overall sound of The Ornament Tree is quite uniform, filled with Celtic fiddles and flutes, and the song choices are a nod toward tradition. Ballads like the title cut and "The Rambling Boys of Pleasure" tell tales of lost love and warn of the pitfalls of roving, while "The Dreamers" is a wistful salute to the romantics of the world.
