About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

With the exception of the opening "Uncle Tom's Dead," which is a blues versus rap debate of only minimal interest, Guy Davis' Legacy consists of the blues from various genres. Alternating older material with his recent originals (some of which sound more traditional than the vintage songs), Davis plays straight-ahead blues, country blues, a couple songs that could be called bluish pop, folk music, and blues ballads. Davis' baritone singing is pleasing, his guitar is solid, and his band is tight yet versatile. It is Davis' goal to keep the legacy of the blues alive, and this CD should help the worthy effort. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

November 03, 2007: If you like old fashioned blues like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, and Elmore James you will like this album. He doesn't try to jazz it up, polish it, or make it sound more "modern",instead Davis seems to want to pay tribute to the blues masters who unknowingly invented not just the blues but Rock and Roll as well. My favorite song is "Uncle Tom Is Dead", a debate on whether rap or the blues is the best type of music, but the entire album is well written and arranged. It will not please more than a few blues aficionados, but I don't think Davis is looking to please a wide audience, he seems content to play his music on his front porch and let the people walking by give a listen if they like.
