Davey Graham is a perfectionist. Since 1961 when he recorded the quite remarkable - and largely unnoticed - 3/4 AD with Alexis Koerner he has restricted his record output and almost everything he has recorded has been of a high standard. So when he agrees that this is one of the finest records he has made it really has to be one of the finest Guitar records of recent years. Throughout his career he has mixed these high personal standards with an inventive daring approach to music. Because he plays acoustic Guitar he may have been labelled as a 'folkie' but nothing could be further from the truth. He knows a great deal about folk music - and the folk music ofNorth Africa and India as well as Britain and America - but he also has a strong interest in medieval music later classical music jazz and the blues. The sixteen tunes on this album were all chosen because they were instrumentals Davey likes and enjoys playing rather than to demonstrate particular Guitar styles but of course the results work on both levels. This album is both an intriguing musical selection and a tribute to his remarkable technique. He has included hymn tunes a selection of Irish melodies that are a great personal favourite of his. 'They are mostly pipe and fiddle tunes and I've been working on them for some time. I take a great interest in the Irish scene and I'm learning the language'. Alongside these there are the classical and medieval pieces ranging from Vaughan Williams' Down Ampney to the Prelude From The Suite In D Minor by Robert De Visee ('a Frenchman who matched Dowland'). Also included is a PDF TAB/music booklet featuring these songs from the recording: Medley: Lord Mayo/Lord Inchiquin; Lashtal's Room; Renaissance Piece; Hardiman The Fiddler; Fairies' Hornpipe; Forty-Ton Parachute . You will need Adobe Acrobat (a free download) to open and print this file from your computer.

The compositions of Turlough O'Carolan born in 1670 have a special place in the story of Irish music as does the figure of Carolan himself a blind itinerant harper living at a time of significant change in Irish history.Carolan seems to embody the image of the old bards in whom resided the last vestiges of the ancient music and the lost art of extempore poetry. His music is often seen as a link between traditional Irish melodies and baroque musicbut more importantly it includes some of the most striking melodies ever composed in any tradition. Originally written for harp these compositions lend themselves perfectly for the fingerstyle guitarist. In this lesson Duck Baker teaches a wide variety of Carolan pieces from the simple folk-like air Blind Mary to the stately Hewlett. The mysterious Planxty Kelly and the deeply melodic The Fairy Queen are presented as well as Carolan's Concerto a complex folk-baroque arrangement of the bard's most celebrated composition.
