Pentangle started out in 1967 with the original line-up of Jacqui McShee (vocals), John Renbourn (vocals and guitar), Bert Jansch (vocals and guitar), Danny Thompson (double bass), and Terry Cox (drums). The band’s unique sound was an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, blues, and rock influences.

The remaining greatest hits album, Pentangling will be released in September of 2021.
