Description
Original 1971 ISLAND RECORDS pressing of the JOHN MARTYN album, BLESS THE WEATHER (ILPS 9167 STEREO)
PINK RIM, PALM TREE LABEL
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
AMG 4 1/2 STARS: Bless the Weather, the first release following two records with his wife Beverley, is a transitional effort for John Martyn. The Glasgow-born singer-songwriter's third solo album emphasizes a darker, smokier sound built around his increasingly jazzy vocals, plus sometimes aggressive, sometimes gentle acoustic guitar work, and Danny Thompson's double bass, which skirts in and out around Martyn's voice and guitar. It also contains the extended instrumental "Glistening Glyndebourne," which highlights his early experimentation with the Echoplex, a sound that would become a major part of his work in the coming years. Bless the Weather, with songs such as the title cut and "Head and Heart," stands as a fine representation of Martyn's early work.
Condition: the sleeve grades EX. The record grades NM. Original inner sleeve included; the record ships in an anti-static, dust free, archival sleeve. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
