Sonny
& Brownie's Last
Train album by the Ambassador of the Blues, NY blues
legend Guy Davis and international harmonica sensation Fabrizio Poggi
takes their deep, acoustic blues sessions which took place in Milan
(Italy) and were recorded live in the studio. The result captured the
special musical connection that Guy and Fabrizio possess from the
years of playing and recording together.
The
release will be also be available on vinyl! The first time Guy has
ever released a Blues recording on vinyl. Sonny & Brownie's Last
Train marks the 14th recording by Guy Davis in his storied career and
his third with M.C. Records. His first album "Juba Dance" was
produced by Fabrizio and also recorded in Italy.
Guy
explains the concept of the recording, "Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry
were two musicians whose work will not be surpassed, let alone
improved on. This musical opus, was produced by Fabrizio Poggi. It
features our combined musical talents, and is not meant to compete
with the originals. It's meant to be a love letter to Brownie and
Sonny signed by the both of us. They were two of our
favourites".

When
Guy
Davis plays the blues, he doesn't want you to notice
how much art is involved. "It
takes work making a song that's simple, and playful, and easy to do,"
he says. "And I don't want people to see that. I want to uplift and
create something that causes delight".
Davis'
much-praised 1995 debut, Stomp
Down the Rider on Red House Records, marked the arrival
of a major talent, earning acclaim for his deft acoustic playing, his
well-traveled voice and his literate, yet highly accessible
songwriting. He's barely rested since then, taking his music to
television (the Conan O'Brien and David Letterman shows) and radio (A
Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, World Cafe, E-Town), as well
as performing at theaters and festivals. And he's played the four
corners of the world, with a recent tour taking him from the Equator
to the Arctic Circle. He played the Ukraine in summer of 2014, just a
week or so before the statues of Lenin were torn down. He even played
for the visiting Queen of Denmark when he performed at a children's
home in Greenland.
Kokomo
Kidd, Guy's twelfth studio album and his follow-up to the
stripped-down, critically acclaimed 2013 release "Juba dance",
produced in Italy by Fabrizio. As always he combines modern with
traditional blues, the somber and the celebratory.
