Forty years in the game havent slowed Scottish folk legend Bert Jansch, and hes currently touring in style, enlisting Neil Youngs songwriter/guitarist wife Pegi to open for him. Pegi Young has a new album out later this month, while Jansch is touring on the back of Drag Citys reissues of his out-of-print 70s albums L.A. Turnaround (which features the devastating classic Needle Of Death, inspired by a younger generations drug abuse), Santa Barbara Honeymoon and A Rare Conundrum. Janschs 23rd album, The Black Swan, came out in 2006. Between that vast solo catalogue and his years as a member of Pentangle, Jansch is the rare influential figure who actually exceeds his reputation. With Pegi Young, Jim Page. DOUG WALLEN
