Oh, also #GregHowe.

I think with electric guitar I lean more towards the instrumental jazz rock fusion than towards songs. For acoustic I like songs with great lyrics as well as great playing. I'd add #JohnMartyn to Joni, Paul Simon, Bruce Cockburn.

I know #RichardThompson should be high on my list but I just don't enjoy his voice/songs. Bit too much finger in the ear.

Streaming over my network continues. Love this #JohnMartyn album from 1996 And. He sounds in decent health and the music fairly zips along. Well recorded and has some top musicians playing along like Phil Collins. Try and find a copy!

Mind blown….the chap who did the recording of this #JohnMartyn gig onto cassette (that sat atop a piano to the side of the hall, in front of the stage) in #Shetland in 1980 just reached out to ask how he could obtain it. He’s never heard his handiwork from that night 🤯 Never been so I’ve offered to hand deliver it. #Folk #OneWorld #SmallWorld #TheSimmerDim #NowPlaying

Some odd things occur when you physically overlay a #CD against its big #Vinyl sister 😵‍💫

Another of my many fav collaborations from the #TransatlanticSessions, features the late, great #JohnMartyn, with fellow Brit Danny Thompson on bass, Americans #KathyMattea, #Guitar and backing vocals, #JerryDouglass on #Dobro/#Resonator.

This is Martyn's original song, at least to my knowledge, but it will sound familiar to many who may never have heard of him before.

Decent Over the Hill cover on this too, an unexpected appearance being a John Martyn fan too.

Great Albums of the 70s: #JohnMartyn – #BlessTheWeather (1971). Martyn would soon begin to paint music in thicker colours, but on this LP the purity of his writing shines – backed by Danny Thompson’s slithering basslines. Hot take: I never liked that bloody Echoplex, although I’ve always had time for Martyn’s words and melodies. I also think his being handy with a pair of boxing gloves kept him off the sad track Nick Drake went down.

Rediscovered this #johnmartyn album recently - found CD in charity shop & been listening in my car constantly for past week. Think it takes not listening to an album for years and finding again to realise its brilliance. Great insight into album here too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06lhxxr

#MayYouNever #JohnMartyn all the way from 1973 and I still love this https://youtu.be/LOi_wxypeGc
