Music Life: Well Kept Secret
ISN'T it a bitter-Sweet Little Mystery why Ulster live visitor, John Martyn, remains one of those secretly coveted cult artists, after more than 35 years of sterling music-making? For Martyn, who tops the bill at this year's Get Down With The Blues Festival, in Downpatrick, this week, sadly remains a little-known name to the general public.Yet, it's this Scottish man's deft mix of everything from traditional folk, baleful blues, smoky jazz and tense funk, which is revered by a who's who of rock stars, such as Eric Clapton, Beck and Beth Orton.

John Martyn: On The Cobbles
Independiente/ Sony
De Schotse bard John Martyn was tijdgenoot en vriend van de betreurde Drake1 en komt na moeizame jaren, waarin een onderbeen werd geamputeerd, op zijn 22ste solo-album weer ijzersterk voor de dag. Zijn diepe stem klinkt nog altijd even soulvol. En de arrangementen zijn als vanouds folky maar doorspekt met een flinke portie jazz en funk.

JOHN MARTYN:
On The Cobbles (INDEPENDIENTE)
The Scottish folksmith collaborates with a Wurlitzer playing Paul Weller and the Verve's Nick McCabe on his latest release, laced with soft-rock guitars and experimental devilment.
sitenote:
This was published in the F.Y.I. section with a very small Lawrence Watson picture.
The same issue carried a story "Worst Luck" about the Johnny Too Bad documentary.

There’s a poignant dedication on John Martyn’s new album to the surgical team and nurses of orthopaedic ward one at Waterford hospital in Ireland, where last year he had part of one leg removed after an infection. But you can’t keep a good man down, particularly one such as Martyn who has had to deal with a variety of misfortunes in his troubled career, from chronic alcoholism to being produced by Phil Collins.
