Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Midnight Man' showcases guitar innovator Davy Graham delving deeper into electric blues, jazz, and world music elements, expanding the boundaries of the British folk revival. Moving beyond strict solo acoustic performances, the album incorporates a subtle rhythm section to support his complex fingerpicking and weary, understated vocals. It remains a crucial text in the development of progressive and psychedelic folk guitar techniques.
