Crimson Moon is the 21st album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released in 2000. [3] [4] Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler play guitar on the album. [5] [6]
NPR deemed the album "quietly stunning." [7] The Guardian called it "unremittingly pleasant." [6] The Birmingham Post wrote that "the earnestness of 1998's Toy Balloon gives way here to some of Bert's finest singing and picking, bringing a loose, jazzy vitality to the title track, revisiting his roots on 'Caledonia' and producing an emotive reading of Robin Williamson's 'October Song'." [8]
All tracks are written by Bert Jansch except as noted.
