John Martyn

That album made me believe, for a while, that Joe Locke was British .....  ;)

It's a very atmospheric album, some loose, kinda funky fusion version of Martyn, who roams marvellously over all of the grooves with a raspy voice. My favourite latter day Martyn.

Can't disagree. Its as good an example of later Martyn as there is esp. the long last track

Been on a serious Martyn binge lately so thought I'd lift this up a little.

Bought some of the reissues with the extra tracks (Bless the Weather, Sundays Child, Inside Out) and all are nicer than the originals with better sound and art.

As with all reissues the extra tracks are all interesting to varying degrees with the BBC Peel session on Sundays Child getting the most play from me. Lovely to hear the songs in a more direct acoustic setting, though the albums are pretty spontaneous already.

2 things coming are a DVD of live BBC material and A fuller CD of BBC sessions. There is a German Radio broadcast out there called "On Air" from the 70s too but I haven't sprung for that yet...
