The River Sessions may refer to:
The River Sessions is a live album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released in 2004. The CD contains a track-by-track commentary (state to be done by Bert Jansch). It's a recording of a solo Bert Jansch concert, from City Hall in Glasgow, on November 18, 1974. In 1973, Bert Jansch left Pentangle and the band split. He returned to a solo career and released in a group setting L.A. Turnaround in September 1974. Eight of the fourteen tracks on this live album come from that LP. This is the unique recording available on CD of a live solo rendition of the tracks.
The track Stone Monkey is an allusion to the sixteenth-century Chinese book Journey To The West, published anonymously. Bert Jansch read an abridged translation made by Arthur Waley and simply called Monkey. The novel is a fictionalised account of the legends about the Buddhist monk Xuánzàng's pilgrimage to India during the Táng dynasty in order to obtain Buddhist religious texts called sutras.
The River Sessions is a live album by the British melodic rock band Magnum, recorded on 28 May 1985 at The Mayfair, Glasgow, Scotland by Radio Clyde and released in 2004.
All songs written and composed by Tony Clarkin.
Let's go sit down by the river
Me and my best friend
I see tents and smoke in the distance
I see acres of lands between me and fear
We're walking down towards the river
Me and my best friend
And as I dip myself into the water
Free myself of all that is tense
For these moments, I digress
You know
You know
You know just where to find me
You know
You know
