Never one to stand still, Martyn encompassed blues, rock, jazz, funk, hip-hop and reggae into his unique sound.

Regardless of his ailing health and penchant for trouble he continues to tour and record passionate music. Written with contributions from his friends, colleagues, managers and ex-wife, Beverley Martyn, this long-awaited biography reveals the compelling and turbulent story of a wayward troubadour.
