The piece is one of the best-known acoustic blues-folk guitar pieces ever composed, with many notable artists covering it, such as Bert Jansch (included on his first, eponymous album in 1965, renamed as "Angie" - the album cover credits Graham), John Renbourn, Lillebjørn Nilsen, Paul Simon (on the Simon & Garfunkel album Sounds of Silence), and Harry Sacksioni (on his Optima Forma - Live album).

  • Anji (o Angie) è un brano strumentale per chitarra, scritto dall'innovativo ed eclettico chitarrista folk inglese Davey Graham, edito per la prima volta nel 1961, con il EP . Si tratta di uno dei più famosi brani strumentali per chitarra folk e blues.Si presenta come un brano in 4/4 con tipica del flamenco in la minore (sebbene in realtà sia suonato con capotasto mobile al secondo o terzo capotasto). Gran parte della sua notorietà è da attribuire al cantautore scozzese Bert Jansch, leggenda del , che nel 1965 ne fece una reinterpretazione con l'album omonimo. Degna di nota anche la cover di Paul Simon. (it)

  • "Anji" (or "Angi", "Angie" or "On gee") is an acoustic fingerstyle guitar piece composed and recorded by noted folk guitarist Davy Graham in 1961 and originally released as part of his EP debut . The piece is one of the best-known acoustic blues-folk guitar pieces ever composed, with many notable artists covering it, such as Bert Jansch (included on his first, eponymous album in 1965, renamed as "Angie" - the album cover credits Graham), John Renbourn, Lillebjørn Nilsen, Paul Simon (on the Simon & Garfunkel album Sounds of Silence), and Harry Sacksioni (on his Optima Forma - Live album). The song is in the key of A minor (often used with a capo at the second fret) and is notable for its trademark descending bassline. However, the original recording by Davy Graham is in the key of C minor with a capo at the third fret. Parts of the tune were sampled for the Chumbawamba track "Jacob's Ladder" from their album Readymades and the anti-war single "Jacob's Ladder (Not In My Name)". Paul Simon, in his version, quotes another song from the same Sounds of Silence album, "We've Got a Groovy Thing Goin'," and, further, another song from the same album, "Somewhere They Can't Find Me," opens with the guitar riff from "Anji".
