WIZZ JONES
RIGHT NOW
CBS UK 64809
By far his best and most saught after record. A classic of British Folk in the vein of C.O.B. Spirit of Love, Famous Jug Band, Dr. Strangely Strange, Mike Cooper.
This one commands high prices, sold with NO RESERVE.
"Though it was issued as late as 1972, Right Now reveals why, long before he ever recorded, Wizz Jones was one of the most revered guitarists and songwriters on the British folk scene, along with Michael Chapman, Bert Jansch, and John Renbourn; Jansch and Renbourn both produced and played on this album (sitar and harmonica). While Jones can claim none of the gorgeous electric guitar parts here — Peter Berryman handled the electric Telecaster chores — it's in the unreal, almost otherworldly acoustic guitar stylings where Jones' particular genius can be found. Like John Fahey, his North American counterpart, Jones' style is an amalgam of many very traditional musics: from Delta blues and early Anglo and Celtic minstrel cultures to classical Indian music and country music. On Right Now, he uses the guitar as a means to deliver 75 percent of the song's ability. There aren't any endlessly strummed tunes on this album; here nothing is ever static." -review from Thom Jurek

Still a very bright and full sounding record. Has been my play copy for 10 years, always enjoyed listening to this magical record.
