The Walter Davis Project: Tribute to a Giant of 20th Century Blues Music

BILLY BOY ARNOLD, JIMMY McCRACKLIN, CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE CHRIS RANNENBERG and KEITH DUNN, HENRY TOWNSEND with BOB CORRITORE. The album is produced by Christian Rannenberg.

A stellar collection of new and previously unreleased recordings of the music of WALTER DAVIS (1912-1963). One of the most prolific and influential creators of the Pre-WW II Blues scene and an inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame. When MUDDY WATERS was recorded by the Library of Congress in 1942 he was asked to list the songs he enjoyed performing most, on that list there were more Walter Davis songs than any other artist.

“To me Walter Davis’ singing, piano playing and lyrics are really deep blues …about as deep as you can get. His lyrics are true Blues poetry. His sound has such a deep, deep feeling to it. It does what only deep Blues can do: it touches your heart and comforts you in a poignant way”. - CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE, 2013.

“This album is a true diamond…a superb collection” - Mick Rainsford, Blues in Britain.
