About
John Renbourn’s first post-Pentangle (or nearly post-Pentangle) solo album, joined briefly by fellow guitarist Dominique Trepeau and featuring further contributions by John James, is one of his most beautiful recordings, and also among his most spare guitar instrumentals. Some of the material is drawn from lute and harp sources, and it is ear-opening to hear some of the more familiar pieces among the latter (such as “O’Carolan’s Concerto”) transcribed for guitar, but Renbourn isn’t above adapting themes from television commercials, either. The mood of much — though not all — of Hermit is one of serious introspection, as Renbourn stays .
