	John Martyn - Biography - AOL Music
		Scottish born singer-songwriter/guitarist John Martyn began his innovative and expansive career at the age of 17 with a style influenced by American blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Skip James, the traditional music of his homeland, and the eclectic folk of Davey Graham.
		John planned his third solo album when Beverley retired to take care of the couple's children, although there was supposedly pressure from Island for him to record on his own.
		Martyn released his second independent live record, the magnificent Philentropy, before returning to Island Records for two studio releases, a live album and a 12" single which featured a version of Bob Dylan's "Tight Connection to My Heart." He was dropped by the label in 1988.

	John Martyn: Scottish Folk-Blues Innovator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Martyn, in these works, created an un- surpassed romantic style: his melodies are alternately lilting and playful or achingly heartbreaking; his singing style is alternately soft, warm, and earthy or gruff and slurred; and his delicate guitar styling is influenced by performers like Richard Thompson and John Renbourn.
		Solid Air both expresses Martyn's devoted friendship with Nick Drake (it was written one year before Drake's death) and captures the paradoxical, wraithlike nature of a man living in the world but not of it.
		Martyn's The Church with One Bell (Independiente, 1998), is an album of covers of disparate originals ranging from Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit to Randy Newman's God's Song to Portisheads Glory Box.

	John Martyn Tour Programs => Foundations Tour (1987) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Martyn's formative years as an artist were spent on the folk circuit, although he has subsequently produced a unique blend embracing the improvisational qualities of jazz, the lyrical sensitivity of folk music and the emotional depth of the blues.
		Martyn has often cited the importance he placed on the American blues singers of the first half of the century and one in particular with whom he identified was Skip James, whose I'd Rather Be The Devil was included on SOLID AIR.
		Martyn's eclectic influences were more than evident, but his own attitudes were radically changing.

	John Martyn - Wolverhampton - May 3rd at Is there food?
		Within moments of appearing on stage, as the audience applauded and he carefully made his way to his chair, John Martyn flicked his hand at the audience in a camp "ooh, stop!" gesture which set the tone for the duration of the performance.
		Martyn and band opened the set with "CoolTide": An odd choice, and in comparison with the rest of the set one that didn't really have much of an impact.
		John Martyn is a unique talent: Massively influential, wonderful to watch on stage, an incredible guitarist and with a voice that transforms both sentences and songs into fantastic bursts of sound.

		John Martyn displayed a masterful talent for songwriting on this album and the production and arrangements are top notch also.
		I read that John Martyn had written this song as a cautionary tale to his friend Nick Drake, and if you listen to the song from this perspective it speaks volumes about their relationship.
		With John Martyn, you have an artist who is a truly great representer of jazz but also he incorporates a touch of folk and other genres.

	John Martyn : Grace & Danger - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Following a short layoff, John Martyn returned with his 12th record (including two with wife Beverley and a best-of collection), Grace & Danger.
		The album, which finds Martyn fronting a tight quartet featuring Phil Collins on drums and backing vocals, paints a stark, painful portrait of Martyn and Beverley's crumbling marriage.
		Martyn sets a somber feel right from the start with the seductive opener "Some People Are Crazy" and carries it, for the most part, throughout the record.

		It was a great coup to get Beverley Martyn to discuss her time together with John.

		Martyn's amazing voice floats around you like a fat lazy bee on a summer afternoon, his guitar a perfect foil to Danny Thompson's fluid bass that slithers through the mix like a psychedelic snake.
		John Martyn is one of Scotland's national treasures,even if we are lazy in acknowledging it.There's more to this wonderful record than just background music for late nights or dinner parties.
		The folk roots are evident, but Martyn weaves layers of jazz, blues, country, rock and pop fluently within his music.

	Philentropy, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		John Martyn's second live release, Philentropy, is an interesting look back at his career from his transitional period in the early 1970s through 1982's Well Kept Secret.
		Along with a tight three-, sometimes four-piece band, Martyn takes this opportunity to use years of experience perfecting his sound to attempt to update these selections from his back catalog.
		Philentropy, which may put off fans of his earlier work, isn't just a typical rehashing of past work in a live setting, but more a completion of a journey.
