The
late '70s were a very fertile time for John Renbourn. The solo albums
he'd done had explored early music and blues - the twin ends of a wide
spectrum - and in his post-Pentangle period he mined a lot of the
terrain in between. This album - recorded at BBC concerts on July 26,
1978, and May 21, 1980 - shows how far he'd traveled. His work with
Stefan Grossman had been documented on a couple of albums, but adding
flute and tabla to the lineup, as well as reuniting with former
Pentangle colleague, singer Jacqui McShee, offered more possibilities,
as on "Great Dreams From Heaven" and another visit to "Trees They Do
Grow High," which Renbourn and McShee had performed with Pentangle. "All
Things That Rise Must Converge" kicks off with some splendid interplay
between Grossman and Renbourn, but the best thing here is an epic
version of the traditional "Plains of Waterloo" that travels through
many moods. Throw in a couple of tunes that hit a Cajun mood and a short
trip through Indian influence, and you have an album that offers a full
indication of where Renbourn stood at the time - as well as some very
satisfying playing.
