Guy Davis' new CD Sweetheart Like You has been topping the blues, folk and Americana radio charts and has been receiving rave reviews from critics and fans. Here's just one of many such reviews that ran recently in Billboard...
Guy Davis' last record for Red House, 2006's "Skunkmello," was one of the best blues albums released that year. It's a difficult act to follow, but, Davis is back with "Sweetheart Like You," an album that's essentially a continuation of the country blues brilliance that has become his special province. He covers several great tunes here, including a fairly sizzling version of Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man," a gut-bucket take on "Baby Please Don't Go" and a stirring rendition of Lead Belly's "Ain't Goin' Down." Among Davis' numerous original numbers, "Words to My Mama's Song" is a modern man's talking blues that will reach out and grab the listener, while "Sweet Hannah" is a gentle love song. Another inspired moment comes as Davis lays a five-string banjo on Muddy Waters' "Can't Be Satisfied." —Philip Van Vleck
