There's nothing sluggish about Doug and his pals
Glorious Fool (WEA) is a case of one step forward and two steps back for John Martyn.

Martyn fine, Wakeman routine
John Martyn's friends are better known than he is but with pals like Eric Clapton and Phil Collins, who needs fame and fortune?

Equally disappointing is John Martyn's Glorious Fool (WEA), which hopefully would have built upon the fine work heard on last winter's Grace & Danger.

John Martyn's a Contented Fellow
14 May 1981
The Province
John Martyn has travelled from London to Toronto and promptly caught a cold. On this particular morning I've got one too, so the ensuing phone conversation comes fitfully between snorts, sniffs, strangulated vowels and choked consonants. We feel sorry for one another.

John Martyn makes magic
First impressions, especially in the world of music, are not necessarily accurate. Take the case of John Martyn's Grace & Danger (Island) LP, for instance.

Guitarist tries new image
After devoting many years to folkiedom and a certain amount of inevitable navel gazing, John Martyn found out he'd rather spend more time searching out the fret board of his electric guitar and less gawking at his soul.

Mellow Martyn Projects New Image
04 Apr 1981
The Gazette
There were few musicians during the 1970s who seem as comfortable with the role of the naive, introspective singer-songwriter as Scottish folk artist John Martyn. Sensitive, with a mellow vocal and writing style that tends more towards matters spiritual than temporal, Martyn appeared the archetypal folksinger for most of his 13-year career.
