Faro
Annie is the 1971 solo album by British folk musician John Renbourn. On
this release, Renbourn ventures into folk rock and blues territory.
There is also heavy use of the sitar on this album, played by Renbourn
himself. He is joined on the album by Pentangle bandmates Danny Thompson
and Terry Cox.

Pentangle
singer/guitarist John Renbourn often takes a folk-rock approach, and
often investigates American folk songs, on Faro Annie, beginning with
the traditional "White House Blues," a song about the 1901 assassination
of President William McKinley. "Buffalo Skinners" is a song associated
with Woody Guthrie that Renbourn gives an unusually calm treatment to,
adding for the first but not the last time a background sitar part.
"Kokomo Blues" is the first overtly folk-rock track, finding Renbourn
joined by the Pentangle rhythm section of bassist Danny Thompson and
drummer Terry Cox. The first song with a distinctly British derivation
is "Willy O'Winsbury," but before long Renbourn is evoking Robert
Johnson on "Come on in My Kitchen." That Delta blues is followed by
"Country Blues," and then the original instrumental title tune.
Throughout, Renbourn and his cohorts explore the various folk styles
with delicacy and restraint; that's the British element coming through,
and it gives an elegance to the material.
