The Guitar Player

While few on the North American side of the Atlantic are aware of the sheer poetic and instrumental genius of guitarist Davy Graham -- such listeners usually get all misty over one of the persons he influenced, such as Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Ellen McIlwaine, all of whom he is superior to in both technique and compositional style -- his place in the world of guitar icons is well-established.
