The album is all the more poignant because it represents the final recordings by John Renbourn, the final tracks made just days before his death on 26 March 2015.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the time of John's death, 'Joint Control' was almost entirely finished. The pair had been working together since the start of the year in a small studio, about an hour from John's Hawick home. Alongside the sheer artistry of their playing you can't but escape the warmth of the camaraderie permeating these performances. Most of the songs are drawn from a repertoire honed through their touring together since 2012; the only original composition, Wizz's instrumental 'Balham Moon', was recorded at the insistence of John, who also gave it a title.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, many of the songs date back to that extraordinary period of the 1960s when Wizz and John first met, reflecting the ideas and techniques that were shared by all the young British pickers and the influences which neither Wizz nor John would have hesitated to acknowledge - Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry \u0026amp; Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Davy Graham.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs much as 'Joint Control' is steeped in the celebrated history that its two participants shared, these genuinely historic recordings also sound utterly fresh and contemporary. John and Wizz had only rarely appeared on record together in the past. John produced (and played a little) on Wizz's 1972 album 'Right Now', as well as on 2011's 'Lucky the Man' so we can be particularly thankful that these recordings were made.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Peter Paphides concludes: 'Joint Control is a fitting testament to two musicians who never forgot the spirit of joy and exploration which made them pick up their instruments in the first place; two fires of more than fifty years standing. We're very fortunate that they managed to capture it in time.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHey Hey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuckets Of Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlory Of Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting There\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNational Seven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMountain Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreat Dream From Heaven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrolling Down The Highway\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Stormy Weather\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalham Moon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues Run The Game\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoint Control\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55170996011393,"sku":"593980","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/510fwEpehbL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768105718","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/593980","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
