About this album

So Far So Good offers a strong summary of John Martyn’s early peak, gathering songs that helped define his move from brisk folk-rock to a more fluid, unclassifiable style. Issued in 1977, the compilation draws on material such as May You Never, Bless The Weather and Solid Air, alongside the live I’d Rather Be The Devil, showing how Martyn could be tender, rhythmic and improvisatory all at once. His blend of acoustic guitar, elastic phrasing and adventurous feel made him one of British music’s most distinctive voices, and this set works as both an introduction and a concise statement of his lasting influence.
