Following a short layoff, John Martyn returned with his 12th record (including
two with wife Beverley and a best-of collection), Grace & Danger. The album,
which finds Martyn fronting a tight quartet featuring Phil Collins on drums and
backing vocals, paints a stark, painful portrait of Martyn and Beverleys
crumbling marriage. Close friend and Island Records president Chris Blackwell
reportedly found the songs so personal and unsettling that he delayed its
release for a year. Martyn sets a somber feel right from the start with the
seductive opener Some People Are Crazy and carries it, for the most part,
throughout the record. The hushed, tormented blues of Hurt in Your Heart, the
beautiful Sweet Little Mystery, and the heartbreaking closer Our Love are a few
of the highlights. With some of his clearest, strongest singing in years and a
collection of terse, honest originals, as well as a cover of the Slickers reggae
classic Johnny Too Bad, Grace & Danger shows John Martyn at the top of his game.
