The good folk of FCF land are invited to pick up this theme's ball and run with it. No curation of the theme from me.

Well that filled in a few pages. Well done everyone appreciate the joining in. There are indeed many tracks with the colour "Black" in the title.

There are many, many more than posted Neil.

This lot appeared on a documentary on 60's Scottish music, a very young Alex Harvey/ Lulu/ John Martyn/ Donovan and this lot...the guitarist Bert Jansch was quite influential

Jansch's music, and particularly his acoustic guitar playing, have influenced a range of well-known musicians. His first album (Bert Jansch, 1965) was much admired, with Jimmy Page saying, "At one point, I was absolutely obsessed with Bert Jansch. When I first heard that LP, I couldn't believe it. It was so far ahead of what everyone else was doing. No one in America could touch that."[108] The same debut album included Jansch's version of the Davy Graham instrumental "Angie". This was a favourite of Mike Oldfield, who practised acoustic guitar alone as a child, and was then heavily influenced by Jansch's style. The title of the instrumental inspired Oldfield to call his first band (with sister Sally) the Sallyangie.[109]

Jansch's version of "Angie" inspired Paul Simon's recording of the piece, which was retitled "Anji" and appeared on the Simon & Garfunkel album Sounds of Silence.[110] From the same era, Neil Young is quoted as saying: "As much of a great guitar player as Jimi [Hendrix] was, Bert Jansch is the same thing for acoustic guitar... and my favourite."[64] Nick Drake and Donovan were both admirers of Jansch.[111] Both recorded cover versions of his songs, and Donovan went on to dedicate two of his own songs to Jansch: "Bert's Blues" appeared on his Sunshine Superman LP, and "House of Jansch" on his fourth album Mellow Yellow. Other tributes included Gordon Giltrap's album Janschology (2000) which has two tunes by Jansch, plus two others that show his influence.

Long time since I've given this a play...keep the PE jukebox eclectic.
