Looking at the AMG--Didn't know that John Martyn had a songwriting credit on Slowhand. There should be thread for 'unexpected credits on huge albums' (that Gene Clark song the Eagles did etc.).

Whoa that does sound like a Will Oldham song. I love Lay Down Sally but never hear it on the radio, is it a popular tune?

It's a radio staple in America.

Big Top 40 hit: #3 on Billboard in '77, when #3 meant something.*
*(It meant that you supplied the station's programmer with a lot of free blow. But I digress.)

Ahh. Clapton's cover of "May You Never" led me to buy Solid Air which quickly turned me on to John Martyn; within a year I had about eight of his other albumms. So I do have at least one thing to thank Clapton for. The Eagles' cover of "0l' 55" did the same for Tom Waits when I was a teen.

Now I'm hooked on "We're All the Way."
