All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Personnel: John Martyn (vocals, guitars).
Idiosyncratic, difficult, lovable genius. Many other plaudits have been laid at the feet of this enigmatic giant. BLESS THE WEATHER was a gorgeous transitional record from folk to jazzier material, and features, among others, Richard Thompson and the mercurial Danny Thompson, arguably Martyn's greatest sparring partner. In addition to the hopelessly romantic title track and "Head And Heart," there is a wonderful interpretation of "Singin' In The Rain". The experimental "Glistening Glyndebourne" showed our John's developing interest in the "echoplex" sound in which he was to immerse himself over the next few years. Other words that spring to mind are wayward, boozer, cheeky, passionate and, once more, genius.
