Genres: Guitar evangelist, Ragtime guitar, Gospel, Country blues, Blues guitar. Informative booklet notes by Chris Smith. From this album's booklet notes. When Gary Davis made his first records in New York in 1935, he'd been a guitarist for many years; born in Laurens, SC in 1896, by 1904 he owned his own guitar and was playing for dances. By 1911, he was a member of Willie Walker's string band in Greenville. At some point, probably during his first marriage, which lasted from 1919 to 1924, Davis moved to North Carolina, and when he came to record, he was an associate of Blind Boy Fuller, who was also to make his debut on disc on this occasion. Davis was a guitar genius; that much is obvious from the first notes of this CD. Continued... More Info on our New Store >> |
