DAVY GRAHAM & HOLLY
"Godington Boundry" LP
 Davy
Graham needs
no
introduction
here, as he is
one of the
UK's most
influential
and legendary
guitarists.
Drawing on
influences as
diverse as
folk, jazz and
blues,
"Godington
Boundry" is
one of his
later
classics,
which has
(incredibly)
been out of
print on vinyl
for decades.
Taken from the
original
analogue
studio master
tapes.
"With his
unorthodox
playing style,
Davy Graham
exploded onto
the 1960s folk
scene to
become one of
the UK's most
influential
guitarists.
Drawing upon
diverse folk,
jazz and blues
influences
Davy flew in
the face of
what was then
deemed
commercial,
recording a
string of
critically-acclaimed
albums that
reflected his
exotic tastes.
Revered by his
peers as much
for his guitar
prowess and
for his
musical
integrity, he
is widely
credited as
the founder of
'baroque folk'
and broke new
ground when he
introduced
elements of
what might now
be termed
'world music'
into his work.
In keeping
with the
records Graham
made for
Decca,
"Godington
Boundry" is an
unashamedly
esoteric blend
of the
influences
dear to his
heart. As well
as takes on
the perennial
'Worksong,'
then-contemporary
covers of the
Beatles'
'Mother
Nature's Son'
and the
Incredible
String Band's
'Everything's
Fine Right
Now,' jazz
standards such
as 'Round
Midnight' are
also featured.
Tabla player
Kesh Sathe
contributes
his mastery to
'Afta' and
'Nadu Silva,'
and Holly Gwyn
lends her
stunning
vocals to 'On
Green Dolphin
Street' and
the rousing 'A
Mighty
Fortress Is
Our God.'
Enjoying cult
status for a
new generation
of fans, Davy
Graham's
mystique
endures and he
remains one of
the UK's
foremost
guitar
greats."
