Review

Dirty Linen (12/99-1/00, pp.63-5) - "...shows Graham's skills at rendering traditional British folk melodies, blues, and jazz. Graham's inventiveness on the fretboard has not been equaled by any of his contemporaries or disciples..."

Title Note

This CD is a reissue of the original release with bonus tracks from DANCE FOR TWO PEOPLE (KM-161) and BLUES GUITAR WORKSHOP (KM-141).

Personnel: Davey Graham (vocals, guitar).

Recorded at Livingston Studio, London, England in 1977. Originally released on Kicking Mule Records (KM-138). Includes liner notes by Duck Baker.

Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1999, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).

For most performers, titling an album THE COMPLETE GUITARIST would be an act of inexcusable hubris. For the British folk-blues master Davey Graham, however, it makes perfect sense. The first star of the '60s British folk scene, the Scottish-Guyanese Graham directly influenced such vocal acolytes as Paul Simon, John Renbourn, and Bert Jansch, all of whom have recorded versions of Graham's signature composition, "Angi."

Graham's wide-ranging tastes could never be limited to one style of music. His later work, such as this classic 1978 album, leavens Graham's folk-blues roots with surefooted explorations of a variety of ethnic musics. The album's fertile cross-pollinations include the Scandinavian/Scottish "Road to Lisdoonvana (Jig and Reel)." In the '80s and '90s, such musical inter-breeding would be common, but this classic album is a trailblazing example of the form. The CD contains eight bonus tracks from the contemporaneous releases DANCE FOR TWO PEOPLE and BLUES GUITAR WORKSHOP.
