MEGA RARE FOLK ALBUM FROM 1971. THIS IS A UK FIRST PRESSING WITH A1 and B1 MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE DANDELION LABEL

Songs for the Gentle Man is the second album by the British singer-songwriter Bridget St John. Released on John Peels Dandelion label in 1971. An accomplished guitarist she was mentored by John Martyn.

Bridget's first album Ask Me No Questions largely consisted of voice and guitar only but for this recording producer Ron Geesin very sparingly added strings, woodwind, brass and other guitars to Bridget's voice and guitar. The songs themselves are stronger and more melodic on this album. Songs are largely written by St John although there are versions of John Martyn's "Back To Stay" and Donovan's "The Pebble And The Man".

This is recommended to fans of more introspective folky artists such as Vashti Bunyan and Nick Drake.

She stopped recording in 1974 and emigrated to the USA. Little has been heard of her since but she was a backing vocalist on Mike Oldfield's Anorak album and has appeared with Kevin Ayres
