Inside Out (John Martyn album)

Untitled

Inside Out is an album released in 1973 by British singer-songwriter John Martyn. It was his fifth solo album, and his seventh if one includes the albums he made with his wife, Beverley. It was his jazziest release to date, featuring two fan-favorites, "Fine Lines" and "Make No Mistake," as well as two songs that he enjoyed playing live as jazz epics, "Outside In" and "Look In." It is noted in Allmusic's review that it is probably his most experimental album. The experimental nature of the album came as something of a shock to fans when it arrived directly after his best-loved album, the softer and more melodic Solid Air.

An 18-minute live version of "Outside In" appears on his self-distributed Live at Leeds album.
