JOHN MARTYN is a genuine original and we should cherish him.
Hardly prolific (his last studio set was released in January 1975), Martyn is one of those rare artists who has displayed a talent for musically progressing from one project to the next.

John Martyn is another of England's fine guitarist/ singers of whom little is heard here. But that's about to change.

L'Uomo Comune

In «Sunday's Child», l'ottavo album di John Martyn,
si celebrano le aspirazioni dell'uomo comune, di tutti i giorni:
gioia della famiglia, nella tranquillità più piena si raccolgono i frutti di una vita,
nella dolcezza si ritrovano i desideri dell'amore...
un lavoro che fa fare un passo avanti alla buona musica
e lascia arretrare l'abbaglio e il glam. Anteprima.

For me, the release of a new John Martyn album is always among the most noteworthy events of the year. The development of his music, its conception and execution, seems to be one of the most important and enjoyable trends in British music to emerge in the last five years, during which time he has eroded the somewhat superficial but steadfast barriers that divide folk and rock music, and produced records that have been brilliantly innovative and easily accessible.
