Customer Reviews:

The best, most nuanced acoustic guitar playing you will ever hear!.......2006-02-17

Blind Reverend Davis is the point where gospel and old acoustic blues meet. It's just him and a guitar. It's the most astounding acoustic guitar playing i've ever heard. This is simply an amazing recording of a peerless guitar player. The Grateful Dead guitarist, Bob Weir, took lessons from this guy. That's how good he is. "Rev. Davis taught me, by example, to completely throw out my preconceptions of what can or can't be done on the guitar," is what he said about the experience.
"Gary Davis took you out of playing baby guitar and made you play it like a grown man." -Taj Mahal
"He was the most fantastic guitarist I'd ever seen." -Dave Van Ronk
Those are pretty respectable people saying great things about this man and its true. The vocal delivery and message is wonderful as well, this is quite simply, the best acoustic blues album i will ever own, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Mctell, and Leadbelly included.
