Stormbringer, John & Beverley Martyn, LP
Product Tags:
Folk, John & Beverley Martyn, John Martyn & Beverley, Proper Records UkA complex and sometimes belligerent character in real life, on record, John Martyn was the epitome of the folk-dreamer, embodying the spirit of the bourgeoning London acoustic scene of the late 60s. Well- known and respected for his 70s albums Solid Air and One World, this is where it began. John Martyn met Beverley Kutner and the pair married in 1969. Kutner was a dazzling folk singer who had been invited by Paul Simon to sing on Simon & Garfunkel's Bookends album. It was obvious that two such talents united in love should also unite in music. Stormbringer! - produced by Joe Boyd - was the first of two albums billed to both of them. Recorded in Woodstock, the album featured The Band's Levon Helm on drums on Beverley's standout, eight- minute long Sweet Honesty. Not to be overshadowed John also contributed John The Baptist, one of his career highlights, with Beverley adding sweet backing vocals. This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1970 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
