Professional Reviews
Down Beat (p.79) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Using a gruff voice rich in texture and small telling detail, he becomes a sweet, kindly songster a la Mississippi John Hurt..."

JazzTimes (p.91) - "He blows some mean harmonica on a cover of the classic 'Going Down Slow,'....And he summons up some commanding Howlin' Wolf-ish vocals on the haunting 'Shooting Star'."

Dirty Linen (p.46) - "Guy Davis writes songs that are funny, poignant, smart, and literate..."

Living Blues (p.46) - "Davis writes songs rich in the sly double-entendres and folkloric imagery of country blues....On SKUNKMELLO, Davis continues to innovate..."

Mojo (Publisher) (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Davis's mature instinct for what to change and what to leave alone, allied with his rich, loamy voice, once again produces music poised between tradition and originality."
