Big MuffConcert review
Where to find all those John Martyn tidbits
Published 10th April, 2007In general, one can expect the average magazine (Q, NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, Vox) to report the regular John Martyn release. The Big Muff Bibliography deliberately leaves out the various reviews that have been published. Main reason for this is the average review being rather short, and often badly written by an ignorant editor. However, if some future historian were to become interested in the critical reception of John's work, he or she might find the following info useful. You can also look into this table when you want to judge a vintage magazine offer.
Additions are welcome in my mailbox of course.
Danny Thompson and Friends: 30 Jan 2010

In the end, the tribute concert that wasn't intended as a tribute concert paid a mighty tribute.
The main business of the evening may have been to focus on the assembled guests and the work that has reinforced their connections with Danny Thompson – and the classiness of Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien delivering their Walk Beside Me and O'Brien’s sister Mollie raising the hairs on the back of the neck with her gospel-infused singing of No Ash Will Burn, reinforced the quality of the great bass player's associates.
