John Martyn died today, aged 60. I could choose I don’t know how many songs to share to remember him but here is one of his most famous and best. I love this version. It’s from the Transatlantic Crossing series – so many wonderful performances in those programmes. Here he’s joined by Kathy Mattea, Danny Thompson and Jerry Douglas. This made me smile so much first time I saw it, and, damn now its got me smiling and crying at the same time!
Watch it right through to the very end. I just love the closing seconds.
Our loss. Very wonderful selection. Thanks for sharing.
