    I wasn't familiar with John Martyn, but really enjoyed both those clips. Reminiscent of Bert Jansch, one of my all-time favorites. Will have to check more of Martyn's stuff out, thanks for posting those.

    My pleasure, the greatest musician who ever lived, IMHO.

    Came out of the 60s folk scene, like Jansch, but evolved his own style, heavily influenced by Jazz, Blues, Reggae and pretty much everything else.

    He refused to compromise, which cost him dearly financially and in terms of so called fame.

    Despite a huge catalogue of work and constant touring, he reputedly made more money from Clapton's cover of "May You Never" than all his other work combined.

    To me that's sad, but somehow magnificent.

    Drink and drugs took their toll, and he died at the tragically young age of 60 in 2009.

    I saw him perform live several times, always an experience.

    Enjoy exploring his work, if you get into him you have a hell of a journey ahead.

    [edit:] Wanted to post 'One After 909' also, but probably because of copyright reasons there's no video/audio for it.
