Holly Kaleidoscope is an album by British musician Davy Graham, released in 1970. His wife at the time, Holly Gwyn, contributes on vocals.

Reception

In his Allmusic review, critic Ritchie Unterberger wrote, "Graham's final Decca LP was co-billed to his wife at the time, Holly Gwyn (credited simply as "Holly"), although she only appears on a few tracks... it's not one of Graham's more notable albums, but it's respectable, and the guitar work, of course, is nothing less than stellar."
