John Martyn - Grace & Danger (deluxe)
Lots to love in the singing and the songs but this never sounded all that great to me. A bit too 80s wine bar in the production (FFS of all the interesting things you can do with a fretless bass why do *that*?!). Would be brilliant if it sounded a bit more like "Broken English" and less like the score to Gregory's Girl. The deluxe edition is kind of like the two version, before-and-after-Blackwell, re-release of "Catch A Fire" from a few years back.



That's pretty much how i feel about that record too, more than a few good moments wrecked by an overly glossy production. Regarding the fretless bass, hehe, it's not just me who has a major problem with that style of playing then !

Must say that second disc sounds interesting though.
