About this album

Faro Annie is one of John Renbourn’s most distinctive solo albums, bringing British folk guitar and American roots blues into the same refined conversation. Released in 1972, it highlights his gift for translating traditional material into something personal, fluid and harmonically rich. Renbourn’s playing moves easily between fingerpicked folk songs, blues standards and older ballad forms, giving the album a broad but coherent identity. Coming after his work with Pentangle, it reinforces his reputation as one of the most sophisticated acoustic guitarists of the folk revival and an artist able to bridge the Atlantic with ease.
