Phoenix & the Turtle

2014 album from the legendary British singer/songwriter/folkie once married to John Martyn. Her first album in fourteen years, it was recorded in Wales with guitarist/producer Mark Pavey; along with contributions from bass player Matt Malley. The album "still has that in-a-room feel," said Beverley recently, "it sounds like an old style analogue record. It's very me, very transatlantic." It features songs written throughout her entire career, from her very first song, "Sweet Joy", to the previously unrecorded Nick Drake & Beverley Martyn song "Reckless Jane" which was started in 1974 when Drake lived nearby Beverley in Hampstead. I couldn't look at it for a long time after he died, but then finally I decided to finish it." Les Cousins Music.
