iTunes Review

In the early ‘70s there were a few British guys like Ian Matthews, Terry Reid and David Gilmour who flirted with the California country-rock sound. Despite a title that suggested a similar sound, L.A. Turnaround found Bert Jansch staying true to the English folk style that he helped forge in Pentangle, but the Monkees’ Michael Nesmith contributed some guitar parts and produced all but two songs here, importing some of the era's best country rockers like Jesse Ed Davis, Byron Berline, and pedal steel prodigy Red Rhodes. The contrasting tones of Brit-folk and country-rock blended amazingly well and have aged even better. The aptly named "Fresh As a Sweet Sunday Morning" sounds beautifully breezy as Rhodes' watery slide-guitar drips notes that fall lightly around Jansch's characteristic style of acoustic finger picking.

Nesmith takes on lead guitar duties in "Stone Monkey," giving the tune a back- porch jam vibe.
