Great, and wroaaar 😊
No idea how this got into my YT feed, but seeing you here takes me back to Hastings, c1971-3 where JM was living when he wrote this song... I recall every other long-haired young hippy guy at the time seemed to have a guitar strapped to his back and a repertoire including Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Bert Jansch and more... One night we all crowded into an upstairs room in a pub in the Old Town to hear John run through his 'new' album, Solid Air, prior to taking it on tour. An unforgettable evening. I really enjoyed your rendition and am so happy to see this gentle musical tradition may not have completely disappeared in my beloved homeland...
Nice to hear a cover of one of the late JM songs. A much missed artist.
Because of you and a few others I finally took a listen to Nick Drake's stuff and I've since listened to the Pink Moon album easily over 30 times in the last couple of weeks. Either way keep up the music original and otherwise, also it's kind of uncanny how similar your style is to Nick's at least in a few songs.

I'm glad you're enjoying Nicks work, its sublime! x
Great rendition, well done. The hill in Over the Hill refers to West Hill in Hastings where John lived when he wrote this song.
There don't seem to be any good tabs out there for this, so for anyone trying to figure it out, this version at least is in Open D.

This is the best cover I’ve found so far Nobody else’s guitar work is worthy They play this terrible, watered down version which thinks the entire song is the vocals Very well done!

@@ChrisBrainMusic I've kinda been obsessed with this song for a few years now. I searched the internet for a video of John Martyn playing it live but no luck. There are lots of covers, some bad some good but none that really sound like J M. except you. I like you even got the mando part in there too. Also I like the little blues lic you play at the end of the chorus. Your voice is very cool to and fits very nicely for this song. Well done . Are you playing in DADGAD?
Your great. Just found you the other day you manage to nail the drake/martyn/pentangle stuff but also make it your own. I wish you all the best in your music. Keep representing this beautiful stuff.

really hard somg to cover because the original is so goof but you did it justice
I like that song of wild dafty Martyn and hard to believe it took him only 38 years to go from writing it to being skint, evicted and into an early grave through years of booze and drug which makes we wonder if he was quite possibly a Moth in an earlier life. Is that standard tuning pal ?. Might learn it myself for some fowkie Open Mic thingymajig. Also when I was living around High Wycombe & Reading you would see a lot of Kites that are beautiful to watch and not a bird you see a lot in Scottyland. Also cudos for making the effort to go sit in a field and record as its easy to feel a bit daft doing so when it would have been easier to just record this in the hoose. You take care Jimmy
beautiful stuff my man 🤎
