Day 72: John Martyn - One World

There was a lot wrong with this album in my opinion. First I didn't really get what it was that he was trying to do with it. it seemed like it was all over the place style-wise. At times it had a reggae feel to it, other times it was R&B, other times it was psychedelic 60s music and other times it was just plain odd. Secondly, this dude can not sing. I'm sorry but he sounds like he just finished hacking up a lung. Like he has had throat surgery. His voice is all raspy but not in a good way, like Joe Cocker raspy. It was just painful to listen to. 1/5

The only song on the album that I sort of enjoyed, and before posting this video I never would have guess that he was white.
