Heard John Martyn play years ago, he was at the Milton Keynes bowl with Genesis. Loved him, rushed out and bought his then current album (Glorious Fool) but I didn't like it, it was produced by Phil Collins and it showed, nothing like the great stuff he was playing onstage that day (remember the rain, anyone?). Confused, I let him go. Then, yesterday, I came across a John Martyn compilation in Tesco for three quid and I thought, why not? This is the first track on the album and it's easily worth the money on its own. Always liked this song - knew the Eric Clapton version - but his own performance of it blows Clapton out of the water. Was sad to discover he is no longer with us. What a great musician.
