Review

Uncut (p.121) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[B]oth charmingly simple and thrillingly complex, this is virtuoso playing..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A] stately medieval patchwork of 13th and 16th century 'Ayres, danceries and pastoral fantasia'."

Title Note

Like most of John Renbourn's solo albums, THE BLACK BALLOON is an instrumental showcase for exquisite acoustic six and 12-string guitars. Unlike many of his solo records, however, THE BLACK BALLOON also features electric guitar. On "The Pelican," for example, Renbourn's overdubbed electric and acoustic guitars blend into a sonorous haze.

There's warmth and good humor here. When Renbourn muffs a note in the dazzling "English Dance," he laughs and starts over mid-solo. His usual virtuosity is best exemplified in the two-part "Bourree" and the remarkable guitar-and-flute duet "The Mist-Covered Mountains of Home." THE BLACK BALLOON is another typically excellent Renbourn solo project.
