Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1980, 'Grace and Danger' was John Martyn's first album after his divorce from singer Beverley Martyn. This period marked a significant transition for Martyn, as he sought to redefine his sound and personal narrative, moving away from the more experimental aspects of his earlier work into a more accessible style while still retaining his deep emotional resonance.
