I mean, it's been a while since I listened to most of his non-Pentangle work, but as amazing as he is as a picker I tend to enjoy his interactions with others more. His solo recorde aren't always solo, of course, and there are duet records with Stefan Grossman that are fiery as well.
Another sleeper is the live album with Robin Williamson. I really like that one.

Now they are both dead... and I never got to see those badass motherfuckers live
I am not terribly familiar with Renbourn's solo-records which I always assumed were a bit too much on the solo-folk guitar picker style for me to FULLY enjoy but Pentangle? *SMH*
One of my favorite bands bar none and-if I'm allowed to be corny and an asshole as usual-*true* british music (well, a lot of jazz and blues in there as well but whatever) as opposed to...

I did see Renbourn on the ca. 1993 tour with Robin Williamson, which was right up my alley... love their duo record.

While I'm no expert, Renbourn on the whole allowed his fascination with early music to show a little more on his work outside of Pentangle. Still he always made room for the jazz: Little Niles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN1jUZFLJOI The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--wVasl0DvA (Fairly typical of the Renbourn/Grossman collaborations, if I'm not mistaken... been a while since I listened to that record)
