Artist:
Hunt & Turner
Title:
Magic Landscape
Details:
1972 LP by the talented duo Ian Hunt and John Turner. Hunt & Turner got together in the summer of 1970, after having worked as some of the most in demand session musicians of the West Country's. Turner was an acomplished string bass player, while Hunt was already a big name on the Bristol scene, playing great guitar and writing songs. They moved around Bristol's Troubadour Club, which Turner had run for several years, and as once the duo was arranged they expanded their art around the UK and Europe. With this LP they gathered a small amount of success, reaching #6 in the Melody Maker folk charts. More fabulous folk sounds plenty of crystalline acoustic guitars and delicious vocals, at times reminiscing of CSN&Y and relatives. Hunt & Turner, who -besides their fab vocal duties- already play acoustic & electric guitars, electric and string bass and bongos, are ocasionally augmented by John Merritt on bass guitar and Rod Matthews on percussion.
Info: Reissue of three forgotten masterpieces from the UK's legendary folk label THE VILLAGE THING, founded in the late sixties by Bristol singer/guitarist Ian A. Anderson, Bristol's Troubadour Club manager John Turner and Saydisc label owner Gef Lucena. The two dozens of albums released by the label are nowadays sought after by many folk afficionados and collectors, and change hands for high prices. Plenty of strangely beautiful acid folk / singer-songwriter stuff these will be limited reissues of 500 copies only
