A shadowy figure from Sandy Denny's early life is Theo Johnson, immortalised in her song 'Next Time Around' as 'Theo the sailor who sings in his lair'.
Still, highly recommended.
Beck, David Gray, Paolo Nutini, Snow Patrol and Robert Smith are among the stars who line up to pay tribute to John Martyn.

Whatever the style of the cover version, Martyn's poetic truths shine through.
