John Martyn
Sunday, February 01, 2009
John Martyn, a Scottish songwriter, guitarist and singer, died a couple days ago, on Jan. 29th. His recordings range from acoustic folk guitar virtuosity, to gentle, insightful songs, and daring, jazzy improvisations. His singing evolved from a straightforward folk style to a slurred moan from deep in his soul. Host David Garland presents a range of songs from Martyn's albums, plus a solo John Martyn session recorded in 1977 by WNYC engineer Edward Haber.
