Davey Graham: Les Cousins, London
Karl Dallas, Melody Maker, 10 September 1966
THE big question is: why isn't Davy Graham booked into Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club? He has as much to say as his fellow guitarist and admirer Jim Hall, and a decidedly original way of saying it, and his roots seem to be more in jazz than folk, though it's in folk clubs that he gets his work.
