Sonam Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The first track here 'Kings crossing' basically telling everyone what he was going to do (suicide / murder, who knows). As Courtney Love said 'The best suicide story ever' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonam Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 This song was written about Nick Drake. They were best buddies and on the same record label. John Martyn (from Glasgow) genius. Anyone on here lucky enough to have seen him live? If so, lucky, lucky people! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his stuff, for me personally "May you never" is first class and would rank near perfect also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 This is mine. A song that has me welling up at the end every time I hear it. My kids used to call it 'The Lion song' because they thought Waits husky voice sounded just like one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him live on the Renfrew ferry back in the 90's when he was touring for his Glasgow Walker album, he played for about an hour, everyone was expecting him to come back after a few minutes for an encore which he did but he was gone for about an hour, he came back but had clearly spent that hour away getting pushed, I'm sure he walked back on stage smoking a joint then went on to play for another hour, brilliant night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an interview with the double bassist Danny Thompson who played with John Martyn of course who said people could never understand how someone so incredibly drunk and on drugs could play so well. He basically said they practise drunk as well so for them it was no problem, hehe Obviously sad to see his health problems caught up with him in a serious way, leg amputation etc. He was obviously hiding his demons from when he was an unwanted child, must have been horrendous to go through such a thing. Such an incredibly skilled musician though despite the hurt. Musicians are not like that these days. Wish I had the chance to have seen him. I was in Dublin and he played round the corner, but I was so young and immature I hadn't heard of him. Kicking myself as I type... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
