Was lucky to see Johns last Celtic Connections performance in Glasgow before he passed away, One and only time I had a chance to see him. Amazing even with his health in decline.

@legendarytobi Of course... Even in Argentina Luca Prodan made a cover (recorded about 1983 but released in 1997 for the 10th anniversary of Luca death) of Solid Air and even made his own song dedicated to Nick Drake (is called "Nick´s Song")

Absolutely brilliant! I've just discovered him, unfortunately too late. When did he die? What a loss.

thank god I'm alive and heard this... he's divine

@DeathByRock100 Also, this song is written for Nick Drake

If you take away the letters from "John Martyn" - and add a few more, you get "higgledy piggledy thora hird"

@Staccatified I honestly think you are the best person to comment on their relationship.If only John had you unique insight to the way that he feltthe song would be enhanced .
"Not many people appreciated Johns greatness while he was alive.."
I really dispute this. JM sold many, many records and sold out tours through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He had a huge fanbase in the UK and throughout Europe. He was adored and appreciated and loved. And he is hugely, hugely missed. He didn't NEED to sell out to popularity and fame. He was an immense talent and we knew it at the time and we still know it.

I feel stoned without smoking anything when I listen to this...Genius. It is just the guitar, double bass and his amazing soft, sultry voice. The treble glochenshpiel and tap drum then sax makes me 'go of somewhere else...' I was 18 when I first heard this. It helped form my true appreciation of blending sounds across the range, blending blues/jazz and rock. True genius!
