MARTYN , JOHN - STORMBRINGER

A 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.
