Artist: Davy Graham: mp3 download Genre(s): Rock Discography: Midnight Man Year: 2005 Tracks: 14 One of the to the highest degree eclecticist guitarists of the sixties, Graham's mix of phratry, blues, jazz, Middle Eastern sounds, and Indian ragas was an authoritative accelerator of the British tribe setting. Like Sandy Bull and John Fahey -- two folk-based guitarists with a exchangeable taste for genre-bending experiment -- Graham could not be aforesaid to be a rock player. But wish Bull and Fahey, he shared the keenness of the '60s psychedelic bikers to stretch out and incorporate unpredictable influences into his music. While he wasn't very much of a vocaliser, Graham's taste in material was broad and sharp, surrounding blues, ragas, Joni Mitchell, Charles Mingus, and the noted instrumental "Anji," which Graham recorded in 1962, way earlier the more noted versions by Bert Jansch and Simon & Garfunkel. Besides cutting various albums of his make crop in the sixties with sympathetic, subdued regular recurrence sections, he as well recorded with traditional folk vocalizer Shirley Collins and British blues father Alexis Korner. Graham recorded only sporadically afterwards the sixties, although he performed with the noted acoustic guitar wizards Stefan Grossman and Duck Baker. |
