Such a distinctive voice, never too be be repeated, what a shame he died so early, I could and can listen to him forever, I have no words for his loss, than I am a lesser man in the future. Sleep well John, you are missed by me immeasurably, good night John. 🙏

Should I ever find myself at these so called ‘Pearly Gates’, and asked if I had any regrets, it would be that I hadn’t seen John Martyn live in concert. My younger brother ‘checked out’ too early in similar circumstances to JM and they really are kindred spirits. Watching his wonderful clips is a great comfort. Also, I remember the first time I heard Solid Air, mamma mia!!!

I remember someone who said they were doing the job of roadie for him and said he was a true gentleman. It's good to know he had that to him as well as a remarkable talent. This is as good a blues interpretation I've ever heard.

JM. One of the all-time greatest musicians. Everything about this song (lyrics, vocals and guitar work) is amazing. I could/will listen to this version very often for the rest of my life, God willing. One of my biggest regrets is that I never had the privilege of seeing him live. Thank God for the vast body of work he has gifted to humanity. RIP John and thank you.
