Just great!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sweetheart Like You (Audio CD)
I ordered this CD after hearing Slo Motion Daddy on the radio. This is the first contemporay blues CD I have bought in years. I really like it. "Sweet Hannah" is playing now while I write this. The songs are varied from sweet to rough. I am too much an amateur at blues music to say much except I highly recommend this CD. I was very pleased!

Innovation and Tradition - that's Guy!,
By Jessee J. "Raised by librarians" (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetheart Like You (Audio CD)
Guy Davis is one of the few music artists whose albums I will buy on sight, and for good reason. He's simply one of the best living bluesmen on the planet. Guy's style is acoustic and deeply traditional, but with enough variation and experimentation to keep things from ever getting dull. "Words to My Mama's Song," for instance, combines some powerful - even angry - lyrics with rap-inspired vocal percussion by Guy's son, Martial, but still sounds every bit a blues song: a thoroughly modern take on the genre. Songs like "Bring Back Storyville" and "Follow me Down" are straight from blues' soul-satisfying roots, and "The Angels are Calling" is a beautiful gospel-flavored number. And what Guy Davis album would be complete without something at least a little naughty? Just try to listen to "Slow Motion Man" without cracking a grin.
Another great album, Guy! Keep 'em coming!

Raw yet sophisticated,

This review is from: Sweetheart Like You (Audio CD)
The title track of this CD, "Sweetheart Like You" is a Dylan composition done with lush backing & soulful harmonica. Guy Davis's treatment of some other well known blues songs, such as "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Baby Please Don't Go" & "Follow Me Down" is genuine & heartfelt... makes ya wanna pick some cotton. "Sweet Hannah" pleads and bleeds love, with soulful backing vocals by Bernadette Marnell-Polumbo & Joannn Marnell. Guy Davis is a relatively young man who has the gift of sounding like an old blues master. First rate!

GUY DAVIS is a Blues Man truely,
This review is from: Sweetheart Like You (Audio CD)
Saw Guy Davis for the first time at the Big Eyed Blues Festival in Brooklyn, NY, October 2010. FANTASTIC!! After his version of Sweetheart Like You, and I remember Bob Dylan's version, I am a GUY DAVIS fan forever. [...]
