I've only seen Clay's video on "Unconditional" and have since listened to Amazon's snippets of some others but I have to say I'm inpressed with his sincerity and soulfulness. I've loved the song since I first saw it and I felt that Clay's voice and actions during the video showed me that he truly believes what he sings about. You can't just mouth the words to a country fan, you have to make them believe it too- good job Clay. I plan on buying this CD as soon as it finds its way to Alaska.

Clay Davidson definately has another hit with "Sometimes" to follow "Unconditional". He is one of the few new truly country artists left with the onslought of people using country to break into the pop charts. This CD is definately worth the money. He has a great voice, and some great songs on this CD. If you only have enough money for one CD, this one is the one you buy.

I attended a live coming out performance by Clay last night presented by WIVK in Knoxville Tn. Clay stood there alone with his guitar and mike.He made one of the most talented performances that I have heard without assisted electronics. He is pure southern rock/country. The song "Unconditional" is fantastic and straight from his soul. The look in his eyes and actions confirm that he is a man with his feet on the ground and he will always remember where he came from. I too, came from Saltville, and it is a very close knit community full of proud people. Good luck Clay...

unconditional is good, but"cant lie to me" is even better. it touches on an issue that is often scoffed at. The personal life of a pro wrestler. I really see Clay going far. He has a voice that is screaming to be heard.......Good luck Clay....and the video was awesome!

Scott Hendricks has found a guy with real sound; not just a sorta boring dude in a slick hat. Clay's voice, while not exhibiting outstanding range, is smooth while roughly raw enough to sound like he's inhaled enough of customer's smoke in crowded bars in which he's played. Fine song structure and real sound of country, with good guitar filler thru the songs. Lyricallly nothing fancy, but I mean this in a good way; good play on words in many songs. Fine energy. I'd give this 4-1/2 stars, the main drawback being the production may be a bit too slick. I'd like to attend one of Clay's shows and hear him perform with free rein -- perhaps a bit more raw.

Amazon - Where did you come up with Rick Mitchell? He blasts Clay Davidson for using top Nashville pickers. Rick, they get hired because they are darn good! Also, Mitchell implies Davidson is a phony who's hiding behind some outlaw pose. Huh? Unconditional - the song - is pretty touching subject matter. Most of the lyrics on the CD are much closer to sensitive male territory than they are to the Land of Outlaws. I assume it's possible that at some point in his career Davidson will have his live band participate more in his recording sessions. However, the quality of this CD is not diminished by the players. And if Davidson has adopted a pose, I guess that would make him no different from Iggy Pop (bohemian-junkie), Lou Reed (intellectual-junkie), David Bowie (pick a pose), or any other singer in show business. as it is, this is an excellent CD by a very talented singer-songwriter.

What's the story with this guy? Why was only one album released when this guy is so talented?

Well produced, performed songs. I especially like the title song, "Unconditional," and the album's closer "We're All Here." By all means purchase Davidson's disc; highly recommended.

I had this CD years ago in my collection but somehow misplaced it. When I found this listed on Amazon I grabbed it quickly because it wasn't likely to be in any store so long after it's initial release. So glad I did because now I'm enjoying it even more than before !!!! Amazon is awesome !

This CD isn't made anymore. Searched EVERYWHERE. Found it instantly on Amazon. It was a surprise for someone I really care about. I was thrilled beyond belief because he was when I gave it to him.

This CD is excellent! The songs on it are nice and gritty, and some of them deal with things other than boy-girl love (Unconditional, My Best Friend And Me). I know I'm committing heresy here, but he may even be better than Travis Tritt. Only future albums will tell though.
