Millstone Grit, released with Decca in 1973, marked a new beginning for Chapman who was looking for something new. He wrote this album and intended it to be "A Northern Six String Journeyman Minstrel". Essentially, this is a guitarist album. The production, big or small, that we know from his former four albums, is now gone, [...]

The question of who invaded Britain in prehistoric times was much debated by earlier generations of scholars. Bloody battles were imagined, in which one race virtually exterminated another and populated the country anew. Mysterious "Beaker folk" were said to have arrived in the third millennium B.C. introducing metalwork and burying their chiefs in barrow tombs [...]

while 60's british folk revivalist davy graham has been recognized by many as an influence in the development of "world music", his cover of joni mitchell's "both sides now" may be best described as otherworldly. to be fair, the original already had a certain mystical quality to it, for in spite of its accessibility, there was a certain fluidity embedded in the song that magically opened it to much reinterpretation, both by mitchell herself and countless others. but graham's version stands out above the rest with its decidedly multicultural approach to a song that's aptly about accepting new perspectives. taking [...]
People who have no sense of the scale of a true coverfan's collection often ask if I've done a Dylan feature yet. Simply put, the answer is no. It's not that the task of compilation is daunting, it's that the selection pool is so huge, to pick our usual short set would be too exclusionary, like picking the best ten stars in the sky, or the top five of an endless stream of cut stones. Heck, even our long-past week of Dylan covers over at Star Maker Machine barely scratched the surface. [...]

Sad news. Davy Graham , one of the pre-eminent genre-crossing guitarists coming off the folk scene (and beyond) in the Sixties, has died after a brief battle with lung cancer. Maybe the pre-eminent guitarist of that generation, alongside Bert Jansch, John Renbourne and Dave Evans... The Les Cousins generation is slowly being whittled away...

Legendary folk musician - and arguably one the Englands best guitarists - Davy Graham passed away on Monday (December 15), he was 68. Graham's manager Mark Pavey told the Guardian that the musician was "diagnosed with lung cancer only weeks ago and suffered a seizure at his home at around 3.30pm yesterday."

It's hard to overstate the influence of multiracial and multitalented guitarist Davy Graham on modern folk music. A seminal figure in the 1960s British folk revolution, Graham's broad interest in pushing the boundaries of folk music to include jazz, blues, middle eastern, and other global musical forms opened up the genre to a world of new possibility, enriching the very foundation of folk while making it accessible to a much wider folk audience. And his distinctive use of D modal or "Celtic" tuning, which allowed artists to easily maintain an open-string [...]
