Bless the Weather

by John Martyn

The 1130th greatest album of all time

Bless the Weather (1971) is an acoustic-rooted album that blends folk, pop, and rock with touches of jazz-inflected harmony and relaxed rhythmic feel. Martyn's warm, intimate vocals and intricate acoustic guitar work give the record a pastoral, reflective atmosphere, while restrained electric textures and subtle studio touches point toward the more experimental directions he explored later. The album sits between singer-songwriter intimacy and broader musical ambition in his early catalog.
