Graham came to the attention of guitarists through his appearance in a 1959 broadcast of the BBC TV arts series "Monitor", produced by Ken Russell and titled "Hound Dogs and Bach Addicts: The Guitar Craze", in which he played an acoustic instrumental version of "Cry Me a River". During the 1960s, Graham released a string of albums of music from all around the world in many genres. 1964's "Folk, Blues and Beyond" and the following year's collaboration with the folk singer Shirley Collins, "Folk Roots, New Routes", are frequently cited among his most influential album releases. "Large as Life and Twice as Natural" includes his cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now" alongside unprecedented explorations of Eastern Modes and scales played in Faustian takes on a Gibson J45 steel string guitar.
