Robert Smith - Small Hours (BBC 6 Music)

“I first heard ‘Small Hours’ on the John Peel Show late in 1977 and fell instantly in love with it... ‘One World' very quickly became my favourite John Martyn album... And these beautiful songs were, are and always will be an inspiration and an enchantment.” - Robert Smith
Robert Smith's cover of John Martyn's 'Small Hours', from the 'Johnny Boy Would Love This' tribute album which is out Aug. 15th in the UK and much of Europe and Aug. 16th in the US. If you like this track, please buy it, or the full album, when it's released.
Thanks to Lauren Laverne for playing this on her BBC 6 Music show on July 5th, 2011 and to Aaron Law for recording it and sending the file in.
