Folk, Blues and Beyond

Folk, Blues and Beyond is the second studio album by British musician Davy Graham, originally released in 1965.

It has also been a primary influence on some of the most popular musicians in Britain ranging from Bert Jansch to Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.

This synthesis of world sounds was inspired by Graham's frequent traveling across the Asian continent from the early 1950s onward.

Graham also utilizes jazz progressions to re-innovate and contemporize traditional sounds, especially on the blues tracks of the album.

Ten of the 16 songs were included on the compilation Folk Blues and All Points in Between, but Graham fans should get this anyway, as the level of material and musicianship is pretty high throughout most of the disc.
