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. -

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.

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...

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.

1000 Day Album Challenge (#57) John Martyn: Solid Air (1973) [26.02.24]
don't know what's going wrong in your mind / and I can tell you don't like what you find / when you're moving through / solid air…
I guess you could say that I was a latecomer to Solid Air. I bought it 30ish years after its initial release. I’m not sure I had even heard of John Martyn before the late-90s and early-00s when I began to see Solid Air regularly name-checked by DJs and tastemakers to whom I paid attention. at the time, the tune Solid Air seemed to have gained quite a cachet among chill out DJs.
so glad I bought this album because it is an amazing one. there is a strong late night vibe to it. I would be hard pressed to assign Solid Air to a specific genre which I guess is often true of great records. John Martyn seamlessly combines elements of rock, blues, folk and jazz to create a sound that is uniquely his own.
it turns out I already knew one of the songs on Solid Air. I immediately recognized May You Never from Eric Clapton’s Slowhand (1977). I wouldn’t say I dislike the song, but it really is the most straight forward, dare I say ordinary, song here. I would think one would only cover this tune if (s)he were to dramatically rearrange it which Clapton doesn’t do it all. (in case you’re wondering – John Martyn’s version > Eric Clapton’s version. it ain’t close.)
for me the showcase tune here is I’d Rather be the Devil, a dramatic reimagining of Skip James’ Devil Got My Woman. Martyn’s take is downright scary. he really works the echoplex, a tape delay effect. I’m sure I had heard it before on other songs, but it truly stands out on I’d Rather be the Devil.
do yourself a favor and check it out. the chance of a true music fan being disappointed seems quite slight to me.

And ... it took #Optus over 80 minutes to have a human operator engage in the "Message Us " chat support this morning.
The #ComplaintResolution person says they're very busy.
But I can talk with another complaint person!I'm thinking Enshitification has a history back to the privatisation of #PublicUtilities like electricity, gas, sewerage, water, & #TelephoneService.

@druid enjoying the #JohnMartyn recommendations found him through #OldGreyWhistleTest singing with #PhilCollins and was lucky to hear him live in about 1981/1982 on a good night how was he doing when you saw him?

Another of my many fav collaborations from the #TransatlanticSessions, features the late, great #JohnMartyn, with fellow Brit #DannyThompson on #StandupBass, Americans #KathyMattea, #Guitar and backing vocals, #JerryDouglass on #Dobro/#Resonator.
This is Martyn's original song, at least to my knowledge, but it will sound familiar to many who, like myself, may never have heard of him before these sessions.
