Folk, Blues & Beyond... was first released in 1965. The recording established Davy Graham's reputation, influenced a whole generation of acoustic guitarists and was one of the first steps towards British folk-rock. Fledg’ling Records are very proud to reissue one on the most important recordings from the 1960’s Folk Revival. For this carefully remastered edition we have restored all the elements of the original artwork and added five very rare bonus tracks, new sleeve-notes and previously unpublished photographs.

“The incredible, life-affirming sound of books being rewritten: if you only own one British ‘folk’ record from the 1960s, this ought to be a strong candidate.” fROOTS.

First released in 1968 Large As Life And Twice As Natural is a tremendous acoustic-folk-blues-jazz masterpiece. As always with Davy Graham’s music seems to defy any attempt to categorise - perhaps the simplest description would be “great music”. Davy is joined by the legendary Harold McNair on flute, Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxophone, Jon Hiseman on drums (both from Coliseum) and Danny Thompson (from Pentangle) on double bass.

"Davy was returning from Tangier with musical ideas when the rest of us were still thinking in terms of Brighton Beach and Bert Weedon" John Renbourn

First released in 1969, Hat has not previously appeared on compact disc. The album is a rounded portrait of Davy Graham's remarkable style - drawing together Willie Dixon, Charles Mingus, The Beatles, Henry Purcell and Indian raga on one splendid record. Fledg'ling have carefully remastered this album from the original master tapes, added new sleeve-notes and previously unpublished photographs.

"All of us guitarists - Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jimmy Page, myself - owe it all to this wonderful musician. Davy never runs out of ideas, and there has not been anyone who has come close." Ralph McTell
