That album is his finest, IMHO.

*edit* and weren't we ALL better looking in our 20's? And thinner? I know I was!


Love Big John, especially work from that era. But I have to say I prefer the arrangements on "No Little Boy" even over those on "Solid Air" and "One World". Saw him a few times and he could be a cantankerous old sod, but Dear Lord, he could conjure up such incredible music. Undoubtedly one of my very favourite musicians.

Dang. Every time I hear John Martyn (and I've only ever heard him here), I always think: "Wow, this is really great. Is it Stephen Stills? Sorta sounds like him, but not. Better." Then I look, and say "Duh. John Martyn. Of course. Wow, this is really great."

Over a forty-year career he released twenty studio albums, working with artists such as Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. He has been described by The Times as "an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues".
John also had a wicked sense of humor similar to that of the Great Tommy Cooper RIP.

I have not heard this since college - thanks for playing it.

Although I'm sad to read the comments to learn that his destructive habits caught up. RIP.
