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.
