Sunday's Child

Sunday's Child is a John Martyn album released in 1975. John Martyn's follow-up to 1973's Inside Out is a more song-oriented, less experimental album. His eighth record, including two with his wife Beverley Martyn, shows the many facets of Martyn's playing, from his effects-driven electric guitar to his acoustic work. This album contains a collection of strong original songs, as well as a pair of covers: the traditional British ballad "Spencer the Rover" and the country standard "Satisfied Mind". The song "The Message" features a pair of verses written by Martyn sung in his typical style alternating with a pair of verses from the Scottish folk ballad Mairi's Wedding sung with a Scottish lilt.
