John Martyn is every bit as good as Nick Drake, yet he gets nowhere near the adulation. He is performing in a wheelchair these days and still touring. I only say this because Solid Air by Martyn was written about Nick Drake who was a close freind of Martyn's. Another great review but I have to say that I rarely listen to Nick Drake. His music sails perilously close to background music to me.

On another note-Mountain Ash Band. I would love to give that a listen.
