http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6869&rws=%2Fjohn-martyn%2Ftop-tracks.rssEmerging out of the London folk scene in the late '60s with a fingerpicking style not unlike that of Bert Jansch, John Martyn's first few records were quiet bluesy affairs that accented his trademark rumbling voice. The release of both <I>Bless the Weather</I> in '71 and <I>Solid Air</I> in '73 solidified the cult audience that has followed him his entire career. Both records relied on his vocals as an instrument while acoustic echoplexed guitars and jazz-inspired compositions held the backdrop. While former friends and contemporaries like Nick Drake and Richard Thompson have received a much more devoted and wider following, Martyn's music and career have maintained an integrity and longevity not often rivaled. - Jon PruettBritish Folken720Tue, 8 Dec 2009 23:21:08 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6869&rws=%2Fjohn-martyn%2Ftop-tracks.rss Emerging out of the London folk scene in the late '60s with a fingerpicking style not unlike that of Bert Jansch, John Martyn's first few records were quiet bluesy affairs that accented his trademark rumbling voice.
