JOHN MARTYN: 'BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert" (Windsong WINCD 012) (76.51)
JOHN MARTYN: 'Live At Leeds' (Awareness AWCD 1036) (49.19)
Most of the acoustic singer-songwriters who emerged on the British rock scene of the late Sixties have moved gently into the folk camp. Not so John Martyn, who has built a loyal cult reputation for almost 25 years of recordings which range from traditional folk material to jazz-rock and dub experiments in sound.

DAVID QUANTICK darns a sock in time to the latest re-re-/ hee hee releases...
GETTING TO be an apt name, Windsong. Trower was the guitarist in Procol Harum - BRING A THOUSAND SLEEPING BAGS! - and went on to be popular among students in the mid '70s for his guitar playing expertise - MAKE THAT A MILLION SLEEPING BAGS! His music was as stupefying live as it was on record.

THE TITLE'S partially a joke, partially false modesty. Martyn's both a veteran and a survivor who transcended his early folkie singer songwriting with a sly snaking style.

This fellow is anything but an apprentice, a musician of the highest order who is prepared to take chances with his music.

John Martyn fans will probably be disappointed with this album. Joe Cocker fans, however, might think it's great. A famous Irish folkie who now has an English accent seems to have sold his soul for concert commercialism. It's very sad.
