A thing of beauty.......2005-12-27
Although The Hermit is a close contender, I would claim this to be Renbourne's finest album, and this from a man who has a respectable body of work behind him. This is an instrumental album displaying the virtuosity of Renbourne's guitar playing. The dazzling display of fingerwork shown on all these tracks would impress a Segovia or a Bream, with whom, to these ears at least, I would not hesitate to place him. The first three tracks are stately baroque pieces played without accompaniment. The final two tracks are composed by Renbourne and have a lovely accompaniment by a flutist and, through the use of double tracking, Renbourne on electric guitar. In case you think the use of an electric guitar clashes with the acoustic purity displayed elsewhere, the playing is so masterly that he manages to make it sound like the most natural thing on earth.
The Black Balloon is a thing of beauty from the opening note to the last. For fans of the acoustic guitar, I recommend it whole-heartedly.
Sublime acoustic guitar music.......2005-04-15
This is a very special recording indeed - and one I first loved in the mid eighties. Standout tracks are "The Pelican" with inspired use of harmonics with cleverly swooping and diving melody, and the beautiful "Black Balloon". There is something intensely moving about this music - I always did "fill up" when hearing it,- something wistful and bitter sweet about it! John Renbourn is an amazing guitarist - as all who've seen him live will testify! I cannot imagine any guitarist/acoustic lover being disappointed after buying this gem.
A Wonderful Collection of Instrumentals.......2000-12-03
On this collection of mostly solo instrumentals (Renbourn is occasionally joined by flute and tabors), the listener is treated to a series of folk pieces--the last three all in excess of seven minutes.
The liner notes get a bit technical for this listener. For example, of the opening track we are told: "After establishing the theme in sedate quarter-notes, it launches into a fascinating set of variations in typical Elizabethan manner, moving into progressively more animated figurations in slightly altered harmony. At the fifth variation, the theme migrates beneath lively motifs in the upper voice in eighth--and sixteenth notes, before introducing fresh but related material leading to a closing restatement of the original theme intact." I think what that really means is that Renbourn plays some of the most amazing fingerstyle guitar you're ever likely to hear.
In addition to his solo albums, Renbourn has recorded a series of duo albums with former Pentangle bandmate Bert Jansch as well as with American Stefan Grossman, all of which are worth seeking out. If you enjoyed the folk music of Pentangle or the John Renbourn group, but are more interested in simply hearing Renbourn's unadorned guitar playing, this album is an excellent introduction. RECOMMENDED
Classic Renbourn.......2000-08-16
I don't know if I would consider this Renbourn's best album (and I have everything else he's ever produced to compare it with), but it certainly is a very good one. 'As good a place as any to begin if you had to choose one as a starting point. For the unitiated: Renbourn sounds a bit like Pierre Bensusan, though the latter performer cannot match his speed and elegance.
Great album.......2000-05-25
I agree with all of our Renbourn cronies below, this is a great album. It was always my favorite of his when I was a kid, too. I just didn't give it 5 stars because I like to reserve some space for something better.

Album Details
Originally Released on Transatlantic Records in 1979, "The Black Balloon" is One of John Renbourn's 'medieval' Style Albums which Mixes Musical Pieces from the 13th and 16th Century with Two of Renbourn's Original Songs. The Medieval Style Songs have Been Arranged by Renbourn and Are a Collection of Ayres and Danceries Mixed with Pastoral and Abstract Fantasias. `the Pelican', One of the Original Renbourn Songs is Reminiscent of the Pentangle's Folk-jazz Fusions Whilst the Other Original and Title Track is a Beautiful Patchwork of Guitar and Flute Textures that Intertwine and Compliment Each Other Beautifully. Recorded in Bath, all the Songs Are Augmented by the Flute of Tony Roberts, Whilst Tabors Are Played by Stuart Gordon.

Mystifying Melody, Intelligent Lyrics.......1999-12-14
I first heard the song on the car radio in Florida and I immediately asked who the band was or what the title of the song was. Later, I bought the single containing Black Balloon and Slide. I listen to it in my car and each time I play it, it seemed fresh and new. It's the background sound of my home page (midi).
