John Martyn

《The Church With One Bell》是英国传奇歌手John Martyn一次跨越时空的翻唱实验。专辑名暗喻人类共通的精神共鸣之场域，他精选Randy Newman、Elmore James等十位音乐人的经典作品，将自己浸透沧桑的烟熏嗓音化作重塑音乐的媒介。从布鲁斯的粗粝筋骨到灵魂乐的撕裂感，再至民谣的沉静叙事，Martyn用迷幻吉他音墙与即兴电子氛围，将原作解构为充满液态流动感的私密独白。暗涌的低频如教堂地下暗河，斑驳的混响处理让每首歌披上哥特式光影，最终指向专辑核心命题——当不同时代的苦难与救赎在同一个共鸣空间叠加时，音乐如何成为超越个体的集体性祷告。

Head And Heart – The Acoustic John Martyn

Singer/songwriter/guitar legend John Martyn's unique fusion of early American blues and jazz with British folk gets the deluxe treatment on Universal's The John Martyn Story. The 34-track anthology is culled from the Scotland-reared multi-instrumentalist's 1967-1996 catalog, with emphasis on both fan and artist favorites, as well as B-sides and key album cuts. Folk classics like "Woodstock," "Solid Air," and "Fairy Tale Lullaby" endow disc one with the mystical bent of Pentangle-era British folk-rock, while disc two relies on his more genre-bending offerings like "Smiling Stranger" and "One World" ? like many folkies, Martyn seemingly morphed from Ralph McTell-esque troubadour into Michael McDonald sometime around 1977. Some of these later tracks, like "Fisherman's Dream" and the dreadful slow jam "Angeline," suffer from the slick, synth-based production of the times, and like fellow picker Leo Kottke, Martyn is a far better player than singer, but as far as comprehensive overviews go, this handsomely decorated hardback anthology, complete with a 24-page booklet, is as good an introduction to this multifaceted performer as one is likely to find.
