Bert Jansch died Wednesday of lung cancer. He was 67.
Anchor Marco Werman talks to Scottish radio producer Stewart Cruickshank, who produces Radio Scotland’s Iain Anderson Show, a long-running music program that showcases singer-songwriters.
Cruickshank says that Jansch formed the folk-rock band Pentangle, which was the premiere folk-rock band in the UK in the 60s and 70s.
