Een huis-, tuin- en keuken-folkartiest is John Martyn zeker niet. In zijn beginperiode werkte deze Engelse zanger-gitarist inderdaad op het 'folk circuit', maar zijn ervaring, als luisteraar en als uitvoerend artiest met jazz- en bluesmuziek werkt door in zijn concerten.

Guitar students have few British solo heroes, but the Scotsman John Martyn comes close to claiming the crown as one of our best and most revered players. He straddles many styles, keeps impeccable musical company, and should have no trouble in filling London's Royal Festival Hall with many admirers on September 22.1

IL CANTAUTORE SCOZZESE NON HA MAI AMATO IL MONDO DELLO SPETTACOLO E SOPRATUTTO NON HA MAI SCELTO DI FARE IL DIVO. HA PREFERITO PIUTTOSTO LA PARTE ARTIGIANALE DELLA FACCENDA, DIVENENDO UN VERO E PROPRIO PUNTO DI RIFERIMENTO.

AUSTRALIA has been blessed with a flood of overseas talent this year… a deluge of artists and the money seeps away.
If there had been just a few top drawcards one might have believed that the artists toured for the love of it. But after ELO, Bob Dylan, Boz Scaggs, The Beach Boys, Chick Corea, James Brown, Leo Sayer, Billy Joel, Leo Kottke, Ry Cooder, Joan Armatrading, with Meat Loaf and The Byrds now playing and Chuck Berry and Weather Report on the near horizon, one gets a little cynical about their motives.

"Actually," admits John Martyn, "I see myself as a dignified observer of the music business."

John Martyn peut être considéré comme quelqu'un d'un peu à part dans la musique anglaise, et bien qu'étant un des artistes favoris de la critique, le grand public ne semble pas encore avoir découvert ce personnage barbu et bon vivant et sa musique si attachante...

All right, I'll come clean, never heard London Conversation. But, I remember when summer seemed primal and pagan and hearing John Martyn spinning out a thread of gently-crackpot whimsey called Sing A Song Of Summer from the album The Tumbler on Johnny 'Guru' Peel's show 1) way back sometime then and snaffling a copy of that artifact with all due schoolboy speed.
