Product Description

After a brief break from two years of non-stop touring, Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam is back with a new album produced by Peter Frampton and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Coming Up For Air, a smorgasbord of rockers and acoustic ballads, includes Davy s and Peter s dueling guitar solos on George Harrison s anthem, Hear Me Lord, and an extraordinary bonus track duet with Jonatha Brooke of her Taste of Danger. The album is built around nine Davy originals (two co-written with Peter Frampton). Highlights include rockers Tear Down The Walls and Riverbed and the soulful Can t Take This Back. After a three week solo stint opening for Jeff Beck in April, Davy and the band are hitting the road again in support of this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Davy did it again!, June 17, 2009

By	Nenad Milicevic - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's not as bluesy as the previous one (Roll Away), it is more appealing to the broader rock audience. Easily one of the best albums this year so far. Brilliant - highly recommended - a must for every serious CD collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good........Not Great, July 6, 2009

By	Paul "Pinetop" (Clinton, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This album is quite good and seems to get better each time I listen to it. However I enjoyed the first album a great deal more. I was hoping for something bluesier and heavier like the first few tracks on the first album. This album is more polished and perhaps more melodic but I don't think that is what the fan base for this group was looking for. Good album but a notch below the first effort (IMO). If you get the chance, see this band live, Davy is awesome.Coming Up for Air

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Davy, September 2, 2009

By	K. Brophy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent follow-up to the first BDS album "Roll Away". For folks that haven't heard much of this kid yet, they should take a listen. He is truly amazing. I love all the songs, but especially his guitar work. He's fantastic on electric or accoustic. He's truly got a great future. Maybe since he's traveling with Chickenfoot, he'll get more exposure. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND EITHER OF HIS ALBUMS!!!
