Bert Jansch

Records > L.A. Turnaround

1974 • Studio / LP / Solo

The first of two albums recorded in and influenced by Bert's time in America, L.A. Turnaround takes in swathes of Nashville-infused instrumentation to sparkling effect.

Recorded in part at the infamous mobile studios owned by The Faces' Ronnie Lane, and co-produced by the Monkees' Mike Nesmith, these twin influences are much in evidence on this perfectly measured slice of British Country-Rock.

Additional all-star personnel include Beatles collaborator Klaus Voormann, and pedal steel aficionado Red Rhodes.
