not so, it keeps the music alive, i love the original it is better than this, but this version will, i hope let others find this great tallent.

john would like it id say

[owncactus]

the upshot to this video is the fact hexstatic are just bliss on their own but to add john into the melting pot just makes it sexy !! super cool ....people who wouldnt listen to john would now just for the cool factor love both ...

first john martyn gig for me ''rainbow theatre 1974'' , loved he's music from then on . if someone comes a long and refreshes the old stuff good on them . this sounds great going around the M25 .

typical 4/4 beat that you could fart too or do anything too, you could place Monty Python over this dance beat and someone would think it was good - its simplicity at its finest. underscoring such brilliance as John Martyn with this rubbish back track discredits the original. Rollover John Martyn.

it must be really easy to ride on the back of obviously great talent

19th jan 1948-19th jan 2009, 1 year on and it still hurts but this makes me happy, nice tribute to a fucking legend, so glad to have seen you play on the absolutely solo tour at airdrie town hall in 1997. god bless you big man xxxxx
