50 years ago this week John released Solid Air! It is still regarded by many as the John Martyn album.
“A great album…as a single overall expression ‘Solid Air’ flows beautifully and shows the entire spectrum of music that John Martyn has at his fingertips.”
“Solid Air…if I had to decide, would probably rank as my favourite of the whole lot.”
“Solid Air shines out like a beacon in the darkness.”
“Once in a while you hear a song that finds its way deep into your memory, and you find yourself humming along. This album has more than its share of fine songs like that, but noticeably Go Down Easy and May You Never.”
“With mellow jazzy flourishes and warm acoustic sounds, Solid Air is the musical equivalent of a reassuring hug…the man Beth Orton calls The Guv’nor achieved the impossible: he made a quiveringly sexy folk record.”
You know what to do! Enjoy…
