{"product_id":"solid-air-chris-nickson-9780615534855","title":"Solid Air: The Life of John Martyn","description":"For over four decades, John Martyn was a musician's musician (lauded by artists as disparate as Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Bob Marley), a superb guitarist and singer who straddled the worlds of folk, jazz and rock, earning an OBE and being honoured with a Life Achievement by the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards shortly before his untimely death in 2009. He was a true innovator, constantly pushing the boundaries of his music - but he hadn't been kind to his body. Drinking and drug use contributed to serious health problems that led to the amputation of part of John's leg - but even that didn't slow him down. He turned out one of his best albums in 2007, and toured regularly. There were plans for a new record - but John succumbed to pneumonia early in 2009. He leaves behind a body of work that ranges from the beautifully intimate to the majestic, created during a turbulent, troubled, but uncompromising life - all detailed in Solid Air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Nickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615534856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615534855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liaison Music Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.56d","brand":"Chris Nickson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920357228799,"sku":"9780615534855","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3ed247c5-d0d9-47f3-8467-8db031b3ce4a.jpg?v=1680814937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solid-air-chris-nickson-9780615534855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
