Just noticed on the BBC website that legendary musician John Martyn passed away this morning. Discovering his seminal album 'Solid Air' was an important moment in my own musical education. The title track was dedicated to Nick Drake and is a sublime piece of music. A lifestyle that must have put great strain on his health was also attributed with helping him produce exciting innovative music. With songs such as 'May you never' and 'Sweet Little Mystery' he has left a wonderful legacy.
Check out YouTube for clips of him in action. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LOi_wxypeGc
