JOHN MARTYN releases a new album One World on November 4.
At first glance, it would appear that John Martyn has been lying dormant over the past couple of years, considering that his last studio work was back in 1975 (in those glorious times when we had free festivals and punks were peculiarities who got sand kicked in their faces!). First glances, though, are invariably deceptive and you can rest assured that the dependable Martyn has been his usual busy and creative self. Granted, he disappeared to Jamaica for the best part of 1976 but, far from being a holiday, this venture can best be described as a 'sabbatical period' during which he spent some time playing with Burning Spear and was introduced to the legendary Reggae producer Lee Perry, with whom he worked for a while.

JOHN MARTYN, currently on tour in Australia, returns to Britain next month for two special shows, at London's Marquee Club.
One World is a John Martyn song. New, profound, powerful, impassioned, intense.
