Article: The Best Version Of… John Martyn's Solid Air

[The Computer Audiophile]

It's going to take others a little while to comment because this masterpiece is lengthy. In these days of short attention spans and abbreviated everything, I applaud @JoshM for writing in-depth like this and creating a true reference piece of work. This is amazing. 

 

I'm a big fan of John Martyn's work, including Solid Air and other albums such as Grace & Danger, and Live At Leeds (DR 14). 

 

Now, to track down the Island Years box!

Thanks for and compliments on your latest article.  I think you hit the review trifecta - I found it magisterial, on point and entertaining.  

 

I’d never heard of this album or the artist before, but I bought the download of the 2000 remaster after reading your review.  It didn’t come with liner notes, but with your commentary, who needs ‘em?

Check out his album Grace & Danger as well. Great stuff.

I like The Church with One Bell, which is probably not very characteristic of John Martyn, also because it's a covers album.

Listening to it now. Thanks!
