Davy Graham - He Moved Through The Fair,  The Complete 1960s Recordings [2024] (8 x CDs)

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, Wizz Jones, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, John Martyn, Paul Simon and Jimmy Page, who based his solo "White Summer" on Graham's "She Moved Through the Fair". Graham is probably best known for his acoustic instrumental "Anji" and for popularizing DADGAD tuning, later widely adopted by acoustic guitarists. (Wikipedia)

Davy Graham is often seen as a key figure in British acoustic guitar. His influence spans across many famous guitarists.

What made Graham special was his deep dive into the music of India, the Middle East, and North Africa. This exploration helped him create new ways of tuning and playing the guitar. By mixing elements of blues, jazz, and traditional English music, Graham left a lasting impact on the world of acoustic guitar. Even if Davy Graham had only ever written and recorded one piece of music, his legacy would be secure, thanks to “Angi.” This timeless guitar instrumental is to folk music what “Smoke on the Water” and “Stairway to Heaven” are to rock: endlessly copied, but rarely matched. Every budding folk guitarist must learn a basic version of “Angi” as a rite of passage, but capturing the flair and dexterity that Davy brought to the piece is a different challenge altogether. (B)
