John Martyn sits right between James Taylor and Nick Drake (whom the title track was written for), part cheesy folk with hints of dark awesomeness. Although Martyn's real contribution to music history is his effects drenched psychedelic folk finger tap palming jazz technique (sounds like a rad kung fu move), I'm still not sure how he does it, at first I wanted him to have done the whole album in that style, but lets face it that would be way too overwhelming. Solid Air is a great well rounded album showcasing Martyn's multifaceted talents as an artist.
