Dando Shaft - An Evening With Dando Shaft (1970 uk, beautiful folk psych rock, 2006 japan remaster)



Dando Shaft led by Martin Jenkins, who had a firm position in the British folk scene and made a presence with his unique personality. They use various acoustic instruments and create their own unique world by blending the international feeling and acid flavor of the Incredible String Band with the warmth of American folk.

There is also a cool sense of acutolade,  this unique world that you can't forget once you hear it brings a truly mysterious feeling.

Dando Shaft's debut album, "An Evening With", can be said to be ascetic, can be said to have established a shining monument in the history of British folk. A masterpiece that I would say is a must-have for anyone interested in British folk!
