John Martyn tribute LP to feature Beck, Bombay Bicycle Club and more
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 15 August 2011
Artists including Beck, Phil Collins, Snow Patrol, Vashti Bunyan and Paolo Nutini have contributed covers to a new John Martyn tribute album entitled ‘Johnny Boy Would Love This’. The double-LP is out this week on Hole In The Rain Music/Absolute. All proceeds from sales will go to John’s family.
Phil Collins, who worked with John throughout his career, said this of his late friend and long-time collaborator: “[He] was unique. Completely unique. He had such power, such emotion, in his music that he could overwhelm the listener even when it was just him and an acoustic guitar. I loved him very much as there were no half measures, literally and musically. I hope people remember him and his music always”.
