John Martyn - London Conversation (1967)

If you're into folk music, don't pass up listening to John Martyn's first album London Conversation from 1967. I found out about this album two months back, and I played it a lot since.




Give this record a spin if you're into the likes of Nick Drake, Donovan, Damien Rice if you want a modern equivalent. A real soothing acoustic album, with lyrics that make you think. Great for those dark winter evenings. My favorite tracks are Sandy Grey, Rollin' Home and his cover of Cocaine.

You can find this album on CD, original LP and recently re-released LP. Prices are reasonable.
Martyn went on to have a prosperous career in music. He would play, record and release albums up until his death in 2011.
