'Angie' was written by the now legendary Davey Graham - for many the originator of the folk acoustic guitar style in the 1960's and setting the scene for Bert Jansch, John Renbourne. Davy experimented with music from many places - Morocco, Bulgaria to add new textures to English folk music. One of the great legacies for guitarists was the DADGAD tuning - I have used this for many years now as well as others such as CGCGCD. Happily after many years of obscurity due to encounters with drugs Davy is back and recording again. He has a website. Angie was made famous by Bert Jansch and copied (as were many things) by Paul Simon. Davey's version is, and always will be the best - he manages to get a subtle swing into his. But - we all play it our own way - here I give it some uncouth walloping and rock it around - disgraceful.
