Review

Q (11/99, p.163) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Folk Albums of All Time - "...the sweetest of grooves, Danny Thompson's bass a masterful counterpoint, the songs [are] concise and enduring. The very epitome of folk cool."
Uncut (p.116) - 5 stars out of 5 - "The title track was the most compelling crystallization yet of the languid folk-jazz style with which he would become synonymous, his guitar executing a relaxed, swaying dance with Danny Thompson's oozing double-bass."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.142) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] gorgeous, elemental thing part informed by Martyn's relocation to the seaside town of Hastings, his joie de vivre palpable on a charming acoustic-guitar-and-vocal version of 'Singing In The Rain'."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/04, p.143) - "Mesmerising in its simple, pastoral beauty..."

Idiosyncratic, difficult, lovable genius. Many other plaudits have been laid at the feet of this enigmatic giant. BLESS THE WEATHER was a gorgeous transitional record from folk to jazzier material, and features, among others, Richard Thompson and the mercurial Danny Thompson, arguably Martyn's greatest sparring partner. In addition to the hopelessly romantic title track and "Head And Heart," there is a wonderful interpretation of "Singin' In The Rain". The experimental "Glistening Glyndebourne" showed our John's developing interest in the "echoplex" sound in which he was to immerse himself over the next few years. Other words that spring to mind are wayward, boozer, cheeky, passionate and, once more, genius.
