‘Great folk picker, great guitar picker… Wizz Jones to me then was like – Wizzzz… Wizz Jones was a watched man, watched by Clapton and Jimmy Page at the time, too’ – Keith Richards
‘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
Wizz Jones is an undisputed giant of modern folk, and one of the finest acoustic guitarists Britain has ever produced. Though he has made numerous acclaimed studio albums, often accompanied by luminaries such as Bert Jansch, Ralph McTell and John Renbourn, he has never released a solo live recording… until now. Capturing all the ambience and spontaneity of a gig, the set finds Wizz performing both standards and originals, all the while showcasing the inimitable musicianship that has won him fans including Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.
