Jack Orion is the third album by
Scottishfolk musician
Bert Jansch, released in 1966. It contains a number of
traditional songs, including the epic "Jack Orion": a ten-minute adaptation of the
Child ballad "
Glasgerion" which tells of a court fiddler’s attempt to seduce a countess and his servant's treachery in successfully impersonating him. A number of songs are performed with friend and fellow
guitaristJohn Renbourn, who would later join him in the group
Pentangle. "The Waggoner’s Lad" has Jansch unusually playing the
banjo with Renbourn supplying the guitar part.
