Davy Graham broke open interest in raga in fingerstyle guitar with 1962’s “She moves through the Fair”, better known to many as “White Summer” (Jimmy Page recorded it while still in the Yardbirds, and re-recorded it during the Zep years; “Black Mountain Side” is a ripoff of an old folk tune “Black Waterside”). SMTTF is considered a traditional (public domain) song, but unlike a lot of stuff in that category, its authors are known.

Van Morrison and the Chieftains teamed up for a pretty haunting version of that song as well....

i love stuff prior to the RIAA

Have a recording on an aging tape some where of the Muskrats doing “Raise a rukus night”

I may have the only copy left, but I hear the theme in lots of songs
