Some fairly important people in the history of rock had definitely
heard of him - check the article! Then google if you want more ...

I never heard of him either. But I am impressed by the list of his rock
star fans.

Some have called him the 'Jimi Hendrix of acoustic'.

I just downloaded some of his music. Can't hear it from here, but will
put it on tonight...

P-Dub: Checking it out.

Pentangle was an awesome folk-rock band. I still play a version of
Lord Franklin based on their take on it.

you're a guitar player, and you've never heard of Bert Jansch?

oh well.

He was an enormous inspiration to the Brit folk movement, and many
acoustic guitar specialists all over the world, including leo kottke

jimmy page ripped him off all the time

Zeppelins "Black Mountain Side" is actually a very close re-work of
Jansch's Black Water Side
