The performances on and production of Glorious Fool are superior, but John Martyn's songwriting this time around leaves something to be desired.

Duke DU 19345

The cuts on Glorious Fool can be easily divided into two categories: the ones that could be played quite comfortably on a soft-rock station like WIOF and the ones that couldn't be played much of anywhere, except on a college station with special programs for people on downers.
