Artist: Davy Graham

Year: 1962

On an EP along with Alexis Korner (3/4 AD). Ode to his girlfriend. Came about when Davy missed a note while learning Ramblin' Jack Elliott's Cocaine Bill. Also as Angi and Angie (not to be confused with the Stones' song). On every self respecting acoustic folk guitarist's repertoire, including Paul Simon who points Davy as one of his influences since he came to London in the early sixties.
