Description

Solid Air is widely regarded as John Martyn’s masterpiece, a hypnotic blend of folk, jazz, blues and atmospheric experimentation.

The album’s title track, written in tribute for Nick Drake, is one of Martyn’s most haunting and enduring works, while the rest of the record showcases his fluid guitar style, expressive vocals and pioneering use of effects.

This Island/Universal reissue presents the full original album with modern pressing quality and faithfully reproduced artwork.
