└────────┘
For several years in the late 60s and early 70s, Bridget St. John was one
of the leading lights of the British folk scene, a gifted vocalist and
guitarist who also wrote intelligent, impressionistic songs that impressed
many of her contemporaries and made a fan of legendary BBC disc jockey John
Peel, who once described her as 'the best lady singer/songwriter in the
country'. She was born Bridget Hobbs in South London on October 4, 1946,
and grew up in a musical household where her mother and sisters were all
accomplished pianists. St. John took piano lessons at her mother's behest,
but she didn't get along with her teacher and quit when she was 11. After
studying the viola for a while, St. John bought a guitar with 20 pounds her
grandmother gave her shortly before she finished high school. While
attending Sheffield University, she learned to play her guitar and fell in
with the budding British folk music community, making friends with
guitarist and songwriter John Martyn. St. John soon began appearing at
leading folk venues in the UK, where she crossed paths with Nick Drake,
Paul Simon, and David Bowie, among others.
St. John was one of the more distinctive artists to emerge from the UK folk
scene in the 60s and 70s; she had a strong, powerful voice that made her
sound a bit like Nico's cousin from the British countryside, and she was a
talented if elemental guitarist and a songwriter whose lyrical perspective
suggested a poet whose mystical side was still grounded by the realities of
the earth. Caught somewhere between the UK folk community and the hippie
culture, St. John found a sympathetic record label when John Peel
co-founded Dandelion Records; Peel and his partners were music fans and not
businessmen, which means St. John was given full creative freedom, though
her records didn't get much of a chance in the marketplace.
Three of the four studio albums St. John recorded before she took a
sabbatical from music to move to the United States are featured in the
artlessly titled box set "Dandelion Albums & BBC Recordings Collection".
Released in 1969, "Ask Me No Questions" is St. John's most simple and
unadorned set, with the artist accompanying herself on acoustic guitar,
with bass and hand drums dressing up a few tracks. Issued in 1971, "Songs
For The Gentle Man" was a significantly more artful affair, with producer
Ron Geesin giving the material greater variety with the use of creative
audio effects and arrangements that used keyboards, strings, and woodwinds
to lend a baroque sensibility to the tunes. While the results are often
lovely, there are moments when the self-consciously pretty surfaces run
counter to St. John's more grounded perspectives.
And 1972's "Thank You For" seems to strike a middle ground between the
first two LPs; while the bulk of the album features a full band, the
heartfelt, country-influenced backing meshes well with St. John's guitar
and voice, and her covers of "Lazarus", "Everyday", and "Love Minus Zero/No
Limit" are imaginative and a far cry from the many interpretations that
came before (the version of 'Thank You For' included here also features a
handful of bonus tracks, including several fine live numbers from a French
concert appearance). And while the fourth disc of St. John's BBC Radio
sessions might seem like bonus, its value is compromised by the fact that
the first six selections were sourced not from BBC archival materials, but
from tapes that were clearly made by sticking the microphone from a cheap
tape machine at a radio experiencing static; the other tracks on the disc
boast much higher fidelity, but ultimately the BBC material is for serious
fans only.
"Dandelion Albums & BBC Recordings Collection" is a good pick for fans
looking to replace their battered Bridget St. John LPs or new admirers who
want to buy the bulk of St. John's catalog in one go, though all parties
should be wary of the BBC material in this set.
