This review is from: Say No to the Devil (Audio CD)

I was fortunate to have seen Rev. Davis perform in N.Y.C. around 1960. I believe that I saw him at the Riverside Church on the same bill as a newcomer, Bob Dylan. He was a blind street singer who lived in the South and in New York City. His songs run from blues to religious, his guitar playing is brilliant and unique and his voice, wonderful. After hearing him play I bought all of his albums that were then available. This is an album of religious songs most of which I hadn't heard before or since. It's also one of my favorites of his. I have the 33 LP album and have just been recording the songs to cassette so I can't comment on the CD quality. I'm loving the songs as much, now, as in 1960. I'm thrilled to see that there are CDs that weren't available as LPs and will be completing my collection with those.
