Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Episode 54 - The Music of John Martyn




Eric  Reanimator is still on his two month sabbatical away from Love That Album: The Compilation Edition. In his absence, the most diverse podcaster out there, Tom Kwei, has prepared an episode for your earholes.

Tom is a keen guitarist, and one of his heroes and inspirations is English folk player John Martyn. Martyn didn't stick to the traditional rules or styes of English folk or folk-rock. For episode 54 of LTA - The Comp Edition, Tom dedicates the show to explaining what made Martyn's music special to him and refers to four key cuts in his catalog that demonstrate what made him such an intventive musician. Listen and be converted.
You can download the show from iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”) or from the website at http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.

A huge thanks to Tom for filling in Eric's shoes so admirably. You really need to listen to his other podcasts. We first became aware of each other a few years back via his and Sam Whiles' brilliant Tom Waits show "Down In The Hole". Currently his projects are:

Alphabeatallica - a show dedicated to the discussion of every Metallica song...in alphabetical order (https://metallicapodcast.podbean.com/)
Battle Rap Resume - chats with British battle rappers about their craft (https://battlerapresume.podbean.com/)
Watching The Watchmen - analyses and discussions about the Watchmen graphic novels (https://watchingthewatchmen.podbean.com/)

Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum.

If you’d consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, we’d be immensely grateful.

If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.
