About Me |
|
| Alexis Korner, of Blues Incorporated singled Davy out and organized his first record "3/4 AD" for Topic in 1962. The EP contained the authenticated version of "Angi" and was what a generation of players caught between Skiffle and R&B had been waiting for. It's almost impossible to describe the effect of that one record. In 1964, Davy was recorded live at Troubadour in Earls Court, shortly after he had got back from Tangiers. In North Africa, he had come up with a new tuning more compatible with the music of the oud - DADGAD. He exploited the potential of the tuning to explore the modal characteristics of the old Irish air; the arrangement unfolding from a slow beginning and then drawn out and danced with, only to be put back gently and reverently in place. This tour sees Davy's back catalogue re-released and introduces a new album, entitled "Broken Biscuits". "A traveling man who had made the fabled journey down to Tangiers when the rest of us still had our sights set on Brighton pier" JOHN RENBOURN "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 www.davygraham.com | |
