Even though at the tender age of 25, Solid Air was
John Martyn's fifth studio album. It was his defining
moment as a musician because this was to be the time
that he found his instantly recognizable sound.
It was as if the musical gods whispered in his ears
and gently guided his fingers!
It is hard to pigeonhole this album, drifting from
Nick Drake inspired folk to dirty rock which make
for the perfect backbone to his whisky soaked vocal
delivery.
Solid Air is a classic without flaw and has become
a favourite amongst smokers, chillers and music
lovers the world over. Everyone should own a copy
for those late night music escapades.
