1	Slowhand (1977) more music like this by Eric Clapton After the guest-star-drenched No Reason to Cry failed to make much of an impact commercially, Eric Clapton returned to using his own band for Slowhand. The difference is substantial -- where No Reason to Cry struggled hard to find the right tone, Slowhand opens with the relaxed, bluesy shuffle of J.J. Cale's "Cocaine" and sustains it throughout ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.49!
2	Sweet Little Mysteries: The Island Anthology (1995) more music like this by John Martyn John Martyn was Island Records' first white solo performer. Having debuted as a fresh-faced teenage folky with 1967's London Conversation, he soon embarked on a restless musical odyssey. Built on a foundation of folk, blues, and jazz, Martyn's music has ranged from effects-laden experimentation, through rock, to fusion-influenced pop. This ... see all copies from $18.01! new only from $18.01!
3	Skins (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $19.45! new only from $19.45!
4	Solid Air (1973) more music like this by John Martyn Much denser than before, Solid Air was to reveal a new twist in Martyn's musical style. Slurring his words even more, songs like the title cut fairly ooze from the shadows, and the jazzy inclinations keep the listener spellbound. A cover of Skip James' "I'd Rather Be the Devil" found Martyn using an Echoplex delay effect, which gave his guitar ... see all copies from $12.28! new only from $12.28!

6	Live in Milan 1979 (2002) more music like this by John Martyn Recorded at the very end of the '70s, just before Martyn turned to his now-preferred band format, this is very much the last gasp of the man working as a solo performer. But few solo artists have had such a complete sound. To be fair, the sound quality leaves more than a bit to be desired, but this concert, from the Teatro Do Porto Romana is quite ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
7	Couldn't Love You More (1992) more music like this by John Martyn Sporting one of the truly terrible album covers in rock history, Couldn't Love You More unfortunately doesn't redeem itself much with its musical content. Primarily the unfinished tracks which were eventually released as the (slightly) better album No Little Boy, it was released without Martyn's approval by the record company he was signed to at ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $14.57!
8	Nectar (2003) more music like this by Brooks Williams On Nectar, Brooks Williams continues to push the boundaries of his contemporary folk, incorporating elements of rock and electric blues into much of the album. He also refrains from any virtuoso performances, delivering very little of his usual flashy fretwork. While this might disappoint some, the simplified approach magnifies his improvements as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.64!
9	The Battle of Medway: July 17, 1973 (2007) more music like this by John Martyn When John Martyn played at a pub in Kent, England, on July 17, 1973, it was a noteworthy event for fans in the know, as he'd graduated out of the folk club circuit by that time. Geoff Harden, who ran the Medway Folk Centre that staged the event, recorded Martyn's performance on a reel-to-reel tape, the resulting nine songs finding release on this ... see all copies from $16.12! new only from $16.12!
10	Patterns in the Rain (2001) more music like this by John Martyn John Martyn anthologies are everywhere. Most of them contain the same tracks, and of course this double-disc collection has many of those too -- how could you not have "Solid Air" "Sunday's Child," or "May You Never" on a serious collection? Patterns in the Rain is a bit different, though, at least texturally. For starters, 11 of these tunes -- ... see all copies from $3.89! new only from $3.89!
11 view cover	Piece by Piece (1986) more music like this by John Martyn Piece by Piece was the second album recorded by Martyn after his return to Island Records after a seven year absence. During this time, his releases on other labels had seen most of any rough edges smoothed off and his guitar playing become almost non-existent. The lighter jazz/pop style which had begun on Grace and Danger had taken over. ... see all copies from $9.00!

13 view cover	Anthology [Primo] (2007) more music like this by John Martyn see all copies from $5.26! new only from $5.26!
14 view cover	Foundations (1987) more music like this by John Martyn Culled from a performance at the Town and Country Club on November 13, 1986, on the Piece By Piece tour, Foundations is only an average document of a Martyn live show. Despite the inclusion of three tracks ("The Apprentice," "Send Me One Line," "Deny This Love") that were new and unreleased at the time, the performance borders on the dull, and ... see all copies from $5.00!
15 view cover	Live (1995) more music like this by John Martyn Released five years after the performance from whence it came, Live is a decent if unessential album. Focusing primarily on songs from his later career, it's a very slick, keyboard-heavy collection. None of the songs add anything to previously released versions, though David Gilmour guests on "John Wayne" and "Look at That Girl" (which is about ... see all copies from $15.77! new only from $15.77!
16 view cover	Live at the Town and Country Club 1986 (2003) more music like this by John Martyn By 1985 John Martyn was no stranger to live albums -- there'd been Live at Leeds, from a decade before, and 1983's Philenthropy. This, though, introduced a new band. Relatively longtime cohort Alan Thomson on bass, Fos Patterson, who'd toured as a duo with Martyn, on keyboards, and percussionist Danny Cummings. It was a daring move, introducing ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
17 view cover	Sweet Certain Surprise (2003) more music like this by John Martyn A belated official issue of a well-traveled bootleg, Sweet Certain Surprise is a solo acoustic performance by John Martyn from 1977, with four selections from an electric full-band gig from 1981 tacked on the end. The timing is key for Martyn fans, as the 1977 gig comes at the end of a nearly three-year period when the singer/songwriter had ... see all copies from $13.69! new only from $13.69!
18 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: Best of Folk (2002) more music like this by Various Artists With songs by the Mamas & the Papas, the Cowsills, and Traffic, 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection: Best of Folk doesn't quite live up to what its title promises -- "Best of Folk-Rock" comes a little closer to the mix of largely (but not entirely) acoustic performances from singer/songwriters of the '60s and '70s that this ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $9.16!

23 view cover	The Brewery Arts Centre Kendal 1986 (2001) more music like this by John Martyn/Danny Thompson Since the early part of the '70s, John Martyn has explored various shades of folk, jazz, rock, and blues, often in tandem with double bassist Danny Thompson. This union has yielded some amazing moments both in the studio and on-stage, as is documented on such recordings as Bless the Weather, Solid Air, and Live at Leeds, to name a few. Recorded 15 ... see all copies from $11.50! new only from $11.50!
24 view cover	Roots of Rock: 60's Folk (1995) more music like this by Various Artists It is certainly true that folk was one of the roots of rock & roll, but not the folk that's on Rebound's Roots of Rock: 60's Folk. First of all, not all of this is folk. Some of it could be called folk -- Joan Baez's "There But for Fortune," Phil Ochs' "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends," Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe" and "Misty Roses," John ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25	The Two and Only (1979) more music like this by The Bellamy Brothers The Bellamys explore a number of musical styles with success. In addition to the hits, check out "May You Never," written by the outstanding British folk artist John Martyn, the bluesy "Miss Misunderstood," or "Why Did We Die So Young?" with a strong early-'60s pop influence.
