An undisputed giant of modern folk and one of the finest acoustic guitarists Britain has ever produced, Wizz Jones has influenced musicians from Eric Clapton, John Renbourn and Ralph McTell to Billy Connolly, Bert Jansch and even Rod Stewart. Following the rapturous reception given to Sunbeam's issue of his 1975 Lazy Farmer project last year, we are delighted to announce the long-overdue reissue of this classic 1970 set. A mixture of standards and originals, many by his old friend Alan Tunbridge but all arranged in his inimitable style, the package comes complete with detailed liner notes, rare photos and previously unreleased bonus tracks.
"Fans of authentic folk and blues should definitely delve into the work of Wizz Jones. While virtually unknown in America in this sorry age, he was paramount in influencing virtually every acoustic guitarist and folk scenester who came after him in the UK. His finger-picking guitar is absolutely golden, and his voice is glorious" - allmusic.com
