John Renbourn: new album & signature guitar

Available now is a new album from guitar supremo John Renbourn. Entitled 'Palermo Snow' the set consists of guitar solos, overdubbed duets, pieces for clarinet and bass clarinet. John says it 'is a little more harmonic/romantic than I have attempted in the past.' Early listens also reveal a tasty bit of jazz/swing. And it isn't long now before you can catch him in concert as he hits the road with long-time collaborator Robin Williamson in April.
In other news, guitar fans take note, John is soon to be honoured with a Martin Signature Model. The basic design is the OM 21S, a beautiful fingerstyle guitar in its own right but there will be numerous variations. Anticipation is high, so for those who can't wait for more detail John has supplied a contact on his website to learn more about the specifications.
