Dreamflower ✨️Some acoustic John Martyn on this chilly, sunny Sunday 🎶
Sadly, John Martyn wasn't really on my radar until I fell into a serious Nick Drake phase & learned of their friendship.
This article from The Guardian is a great read.
"John Martyn wrote Solid Air for/about Nick Drake. Their friendship was intense and complicated. The Guardian has an extract from Small Hours telling the story w/contributions from Richard & Linda Thompson, Joe Boyd, Beverley Martyn, Paul Wheeler + others."
J. Welsh@Dreamflower I love him. One World was my *in* for him, after seeing Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan cover “Couldn’t Love You More.”
@jwelsh8 Oh wow, that sounds amazing...really like Damien Rice, haven't listened to him in a bit, thanks for the reminder!
@Dreamflower We were such big fans for a number of years; sister studied in Ireland in 2001-2002, and introduced him to us. His 2004 Bonnaroo set was so wonderful and powerful. But he just kind of stopped offering new music or touring after My Favourite Faded Fantasy eight years ago.
Paul Hebert@Dreamflower I should listen to this guy more often.
TheDireWolf@Dreamflower one of my Dads favourites.
