Synopsis

Product Description
M.C. Records is proud to announce that they have signed blues and folk master Guy Davis. His delightful and deep recording, Juba Dance (MC-0074) will be released in North America on September 10.

The 13-track, stripped down recording contain Guy's own compositions and choice covers by Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Robert Wilkins and Blind Willie McTell. Juba Dance features Fabrizzio Poggi on Harmonica as well as producer and special guests The Blind Boys of Alabama.

Guy Davis has been recording artist since 1978. He is a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis' creativity. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces. Juba Dance infuses all the influences of Guy Davis into an original sonic journey.

He has received accolades and praise for his performance off-Broadway as the legendary Robert Johnson in Robert Johnson: Trick The Devil , winning the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive Award. Likewise, he received rave reviews for his appearance on Broadway in Finian's Rainbow, playing the part originally played by the legendary Sonny Terry. He has been nominated for nearly a dozen Blues Award and has performed on such shows as Prairie Home Companion, Late Show With David Letterman or Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
