*** Digisleeve
Credited for sparking the 1960s folk revival in England, Davy Graham has inspired artists and fellow players such as Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Paul Simon. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin have cited Graham as an influence to their music, and bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle also show large Graham influence. Recently, he has been working closely and consistently with singer-songwriter Mark Pavey, he has once again returned to the stage, playing live acts, and has also been working once again with familiar guitarists and friends, including Bert Jansch, Duck Baker and Martin Carthy.
This '69 outing, which features solid support by bassist Danny Thompson and drummer John Spooner, showcases Graham's dynamic acoustic guitar work, with the trio running through a set of (primarily) pop and blues standards, including the Beatles' "Getting Better," Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound," and Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man." The most intriguing tracks, however, are those that veer further left of field, particularly Graham's stunning solo instrumental takes on jazz legend Art Blakey's "Buhaina Chant" and the traditional "Bulgarian Dance," which creates a hypnotically frenetic vibe. Adventurous, eclectic, and consistently well-executed,
HAT is a lost gem that is sure to please open-minded fans of late-'60s British folk blues. He's just as capable of good-time blues ("I'm Ready") and a folk cover of "Getting Better" from Sgt. Pepper as dark, slightly dissonant instrumentals with a modal / Eastern flavor. As is the case with most of his '60s albums, it has been historically very hard to find, especially in the U. S, where Graham did not have a record deal.
Graham's back catalogue has also been restored from the original master tapes and is released once more with fabulous new artwork, original sleeve notes and improved sound fidelity.
> "He's my absolute hero, always will be" BERT JANSCH
> "Probably England's greatest guitarist" PAUL SIMON
> "I wanted to be Davy Graham." JOHN MARTYN
> "Davy was and is the Man" MARTIN CARTHY
> "Davy Graham can whistle for the money I owe him for Stairway to Heaven and White Summer" JIMMY PAGE
