John Martyn - Solid Air (1973)

Had some hazy, lazy nights listening to John Martyn on Radio Luxembourg at a bar in Brussels in the mid-'80s. It's the sort of misty magic I wish would happen more often in these crazy times.

Anyway, this is the CD I put on to be transported back to that period, and what a terrific trip it always proves to be. Martyn's heady mix of folk, jazz and electronics will have you reeling with quiet bliss, and such pieces as 'I Don't Want to Know', 'Go Down Easy' and 'The Easy Blues' should leave you wanting more. Includes the original 'May You Never' that was a minor hit for Eric Clapton.
