  • Armed with both 6- and 12-string guitars and an engagingly raspy singing style, Guy Davis carries on the legacy of country-blues alongside a small class of younger musicians that includes Keb' Mo, Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood-Hart. On his fourth album, Davis pens a broad range of songs that touch on broken dreams ("Raining In My Soul"), teenage femme fatales ("Sugarbelle Blue") and high-stakes gambling ("Waiting On The Cards To Fall").
  • Family serves as important motivation for this raconteur (whose parents are actors Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee). Results of this inspiration include the fleet-fingered instrumental "The Place Where I Come From (Butt Naked Free)" inspired by Davis' then infant son's crazy-legs dance and the jaunty "Ain't No Bluesman," written for this same child to sing when he got older. Elsewhere, Davis looked to Blind Willie McTell for a strolling version of his "Writing Paper Blues" (fleshed out by organist T-Bone Walk and drummer Levon Helm). Other highlights include the bittersweet "Let Me Stay Awhile" and "High Flying Rocket," a humorous sexual ode rife with double-entendres.
