Hunt & Turner
Magic Landscape
Fabulous grooving folk rock sounds with plenty of atmosphere, first released by the much beloved Village Thing label in
1972. Ian Hunt and John Turner first teamed-up in the late summer of 1970, the inevitable collaboration of two of the
West Country's most sought-after session musicians. String bassist and guitarist Turner had just left the infamous
Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra and Hunt, a wizard guitarist and song writer who was already a 'big-name' on the Bristol
scene, was looking for a new vehicle for his talents. Both had been spawned by the legendary Bristol Troubadour Club,
which Turner had run for several years, and within months the new duo was picking up fans and followers around the UK
and in Europe. This album went straight to number six in the Melody Maker folk charts upon its original release.
Crystalline acoustic and electric guitars and delicious vocals, backed with electric and string bass and bongos; imagine
if you will British band Magna Carta with a guitarist as skilled as Wizz Jones or John Martyn: acoustic instrumentation
and strong songs. This edition comes with a 16-page booklet printed on FSC recycled, chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer
fiber paper manufactured using biogas energy, which contains a small dose of band info, album lyrics, histories of the
Village Thing and Saydisc labels by co-founder Gef Lucena, as well as a Village Thing label discography.
