Description
David Michael Gordon "Davey" Graham, originally spelled Davy Graham, (26 November 1940–15 December 2008), was a British guitarist and one of the most influential figures in the 1960s British folk revival. He inspired many famous practitioners of the fingerstyle acoustic guitar such as Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, John Martyn, Paul Simon and Jimmy Page, who based his solo "White Summer" on Graham's "She moved thru' the Bizarre/Blue Raga" and "Mustapha". Graham is probably best-known for his acoustic instrumental, "Anji" and for his pioneering use of DADGAD tuning, later widely adopted by acoustic guitarists.
Although he never achieved great commercial success (and indeed perhaps did not seek it), Graham's music received positive critical feedback, and has proved to be influential. He has inspired folk revival artists and fellow players such as Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, Ralph Mctell, John Martyn, Nick Drake and Paul Simon: Folk Rock bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle also show his influence. In the 80s there were British guitar bands like The Smiths, whose guitarist Johnny Marr has cited Davey Graham as a big influence. In 2009, the Graham Coxon album The Spinning Top was cited by NME as being influenced by the finger picking style of Graham.
Though Graham is commonly referred to as a folk musician, the diversity of his music ranges in many different directions. Strong influence from genres such as blues, jazz and Middle Eastern music is evident throughout his work.
Godington Boundry is an album by British musician Davy Graham, released in 1970. It is credited to "Davy Graham & Holly".
