Reverend Gary Davis

Gary Davis Style; The Legacy Of The Reverend Gary Davis

Some of the more notorious folkies who helped us liberate the Sixties are featured on this CD, namely Dave van Ronk, Maria Muldaur and Peter Paul and Mary. Underneath all those notorious folkies are other soldiers of the Folk Song Revival, who either learned from him directly, or from someone who did. Most all of those he taught went on to professional careers in music and are teachers in his style as well Rolly Brown does a masterful job on South Carolina Rag, a piece Willie Walker taught Davis around 1904. And between the two of them, Ari Eisinger and Jack Dialesandro reconstruct the only Blues 78 Rev. Davis cut, note for note. Davis's influence in Canada is represented here by Ken Whiteley and Penny Lang, while John Cephas and Phil Wiggins tear up Davis's version of Twelve Gates to the City.
