2 CDs | Release: 2011 | Label: Hole in the Rain Music Ltd | MP3 320 Kbps | 314 MB
Genre: Folk, Indie, Pop, Rock, Singer-Songwriters
Expansive 30-song tribute album to the mind-bending British folkie who passed away in 2009…four decades of pioneering acoustic music that incorporated "Echoplexed" psychedelica and jazz touches made Martyn an iconic, cult figure among critics, fans and his peers …In the works for a few years, the project includes a number of notable participants including Beck, David Gray, Snow Patrol, Lisa Hannigan, Beth Orton, Robert Smith of the Cure, Phil Collins, Paolo Nutini …Martyn's discography will, no doubt, continue to receive Deluxe treatments as unreleased material is unearthed, but Johnny Boy Would Love This brings him to a younger demographic of artists alongside more established performers like Beth Orton and Joe Bonamassa, all proving the enduring resonance of his work. Just as Island Records label mate Nick Drake has enjoyed considerable cult success decades after committing suicide in 1974, Martyn deserves similar consideration, and Johnny Boy Would Love This could well be the breakthrough that inspires others to look at his rich, varied and often heartbreaking body of work.
