Comments on: Ani: “I Like Those Songs”…Me too http://movinginstereo.org/2008/06/20/i-like-those-songs/ movinginstereo.org Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:59:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Steve Pledger http://movinginstereo.org/2008/06/20/i-like-those-songs/#comment-1348 Steve Pledger Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:14:14 +0000 http://movinginstereo.wordpress.com/?p=516#comment-1348 As an England-based MJ follower, it's great to hear that he's 'over there' wowing folks on Ani's tour. (Including Ani herself, by the sound of things!) He is an extraordinary writer, performer and person. I have to wait a few months for my next live fix, but as Joe has said hear, there are any number of albums to source, which demonstrate clearly what an artist he is. Martyn would probably tell you that anything from 'An Aching and a Longing' onwards is safe to listen to, but prior to that album (1988) he tends to distance himself from. Not for me to comment, except to say that over the years, Martyn has produced some the finest work I've heard from anyone, and I listen to a fair amount of music too! I love much of what he has put out over the last 20 years, but for me, his last 3 studio albums have been incredible. (Breathe in): 'Whoever it was That Brought Me Here Will Have to Take Me Home', 'Deep Blue' and 'Vegas'. There's also a live album called MJGB06', available form his website, which does a fine job of demonstrating on CD, what he does on stage. A superb set! His recordings, and especially his live performances, are life-affirming, even life changing stuff. I really cannot recommend him enough. Hang in there, everyone!
