    Solid Air by John Martyn

    Martyn had an unmistakable voice: mellow but challenging. His modern folk, heavily infused with jazz is timeless, and this, his 4th album from 1973 has him at his very best.
    This is a 2013 repress from BackToBlack and is an excellent pressing.

  3. John Martyn - Solid Air


    Danny Thompson, who played bass on this album—as well as lots of others—died last week.

    I saw Martyn live in 1985, at one of those free festivals put on by the GLC, when they were using up all the money before being disbanded by Thatcher. I think he was a bit lost on me at the time. I was waiting for Gil Scott-Heron to come on. I wish I'd appreciated it more, but there you go. Looking at the setlist, it would've been great.

    I probably don’t need to say what a fine album this is.

    There's a rather good docco about Martyn made by the BBC, Johnny Too Bad, which is well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DVynJD4jE&t=4s(it's on YouTube) It might be time to give it another watch.

  5. I'm apparently entering my middle-aged-Scot period proper now, since I just picked up a moderately rare* pressing of #JohnMartyn's "One World" for way less than I ever expected to find it.

    Back in my days in Echo Records on Byre's Road in Glasgow, he was ridiculously popular with our customers (for all I know he was one himself, since CaVa Studios was just up the road), and now I finally get why. Shame he was such a trainwreck...

  6. Do you know in those album covers choices i made recently I suddenly feel guilty for not choosing John Martyn's One World. I was peak new wave when that came out & John Peel was the place to listen but remember him playing Small Hours, in amongst The Pistols, Clash,Costello, Buzzcocks etc & it was absolutely mesmerizing.
