Also from 2016, Birthday Blues rounds out Jansch's late-period releases, diving deeper into the blues and folk traditions that fed his playing throughout his career. This album emphasizes the blues undercurrent in his fingerstyle approach—the bent notes, the call-and-response quality, the emotional weight. Jansch's guitar work here is both technically accomplished and utterly unpretentious, sounding like someone playing for the pure necessity of it rather than for display. A valuable addition for those exploring his late work.
