4.0 out of 5 stars 'Sunday's Child' is full of grace, 28 May 2006
By Arthur Dooley (N Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

John Martyn's 1974 album carries on the fine run of classic early/mid severties albums which mark him out as a rare talent. A talent which has never grown dim despite the passing decades of emotional and physical decline which has seen him suffer Brendan Behan-esque alcohol induced torments.
Hopefully life in the Irish countryside might provide him with an anchor to cling on to.
Back to the album: It flows through the speakers like an aural river....deep and dark. Dappled with sunlight and clouds. As a guitarist Martyn is an alchemist. Tossing fire laced with honey from strings stretched to breaking point.
Sunday morning...strong coffee,newspapers and John Martyn. What more could you ask for ?

4.0 out of 5 stars A temporary step back , 18 Jan 2009
By J. R. P. Wigman "Hans Wigman" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Sunday's child" is a bit of a disappointment after the glory of its predecessor "Inside out". To be sure, there are some great tracks here, like "One day without you", "My baby girl" and "Spencer the rover", but the album just doesn't have the impact the earlier albums had. It occurred to me that quite a few of the songs on this album just don't speak to me as clearly as those on earlier albums. There are two tracks, "Root love" and "Clutches", which point to Martyn's future where there's more room for electric guitar, but they don't seem to fit easily here.

This edition, like many recent remastered albums, has some welcome bonus tracks on offer, the last 5 of which recorded live for Radio One.

"Sunday's child" may suggest a lucky guy (and apparently John was born on a sunday), but the album itself is less lucky - to be standing between the towering and powerful "Inside out" and "One world" means a life in the shade.

A truly great album from the now sadly deceased John Martyn. There will never be the likes of him again, but at least we can glory in these fabulous albums. Read more
