There comes a point in every successful artist's career where a look is taken over each shoulder, in order to assess the future, and in to ensure longevity in their chosen marketplace. For Martyn, whose album count almost matches his years in the business, it's apparent that he has remained open to influence and change. Glasgow Walker is the album he's chosen to move away from the pared down guitar accompaniment to embrace the joys of programming. Using a contemporary theme as his raison d'être, Martyn sounds in optimistic mood as he once again trawls his soul for eight self-penned tracks, that cover the inevitable issues of love and hope. His lyrical dexterity is given the opportunity to breath amidst pseudo African overtones on "So Sweet", the military snare & delicate piano of "The Field of Play", and the bass twang-funk "Cool In This Life". Two covers are re-trodden, both registering at different ends of the scale; "Cry Me A River", sunken without trace in a blur of slo-mo beats, whilst "You Don't Know What Love Is" transcends the blander material on the album by joining forces with The Guy Barker Quintet.
