	Guy Davis - Bluesman
		Guy and his family appreciate the outpouring of condolences they received since the passing of Ossie.
		Guy was doubly pleased by the irony of the lead track on that album, “Uncle Tom’s Dead” being chosen as one of the ‘Best Songs of the Year’ by “All Songs Considered”, especially considering that most radio stations can’t play it due to ‘risky’ language.
		Guy was preparing to go into the studio to record a dubbing session for what he referred to as a “milk and cookies” version of the song when his father passed.

		Guy Davis' newest offering possesses all the traits that makes him one of the best: a gruff, authentic vocal quality and adept, dexterous guitar playing (later in the album to include the reintroduction of the banjo).
		Davis' manager, perhaps bored or curious, did a search of his artist's name on a search engine web site, and as I am sure you might be aware, many others share the name Guy Davis.
		Comic book artist Guy Davis' drawings and minuet in the booklet, where Davis sells his soul to the devil (though at an ATM Machine and fast food joint, not a crossroads), are both appealing and add to the flavor of this album...

	Guy Davis: Unstable Artist
		I have always admired Guy Davis for three things: his attention to detail, his sense of design, and his insistence on not making his characters “pretty.” There is a realism at work in Davis’ art that really fits the subject matter he chooses to tackle, especially the period work.
		DAVIS: I did do a lot of research for the architecture and clothing/hairstyles, but since the world of The Marquis is it's own, I just used that research as a springboard to get bizarre with some of the designs.
		DAVIS: I've been really lucky and happy with all the cover artwork that was done for "Danse Macabre", it was a great thrill to see some of my favorite artists do their take on the character.

	Guy Davis: Blues at the crossroads by Seth Rogovoy
		Listening to Davis talk about the blues, it comes as no surprise to hear that he likes storytelling, as he is a masterful storyteller himself, both in person and in song.
		That Davis wound up being a performer dedicated to preserving and perpetuating traditional African-American music makes total sense when one learns that his parents are the actors, directors, writers and social activist team of Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.
		A French TV crew was making a documentary about the blues, and they hired Davis as a kind of walking, talking head to escort the film audience on a search for the crossroads where blues pioneer Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for magical musical powers.

	Go 2 Guy: Davis fights Cirillo syndrome
		If Davis can't hit rookies, journeymen, minor leaguers or big league pitchers who are tinkering with their stuff in a relaxed atmosphere in Arizona, how is he supposed to hit for a contender in a pennant race?
		Davis could use a kick in the butt or a little positive reinforcement, and I've decided to go with the latter because the former could result in him kicking mine.
		Davis said he is working on a shorter swing, trying to make good contact and hitting the ball up the middle.

		She immediately pays tribute to Guy Davis and his parents, Ozzie and Dee Dee Davis, who are sitting in the audience.

	Guy Davis
		A master at setting intimate, richly nuanced tales to stomping acoustic blues backing, often with folky accompaniment from mandolin, banjo, and accordion, the 50-year-old performer helped revitalize the state of country blues in the 1990s with a string of critically acclaimed albums for Red House Records.
		Davis is the son of actors Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, and that theatrical inclination didn't escape Guy himself: He also has authored and starred in several off-Broadway musicals, and even weathered an early stint on television's One Life To Live.
		I wrote it in the home of Rod Davis, who used to be one of John Lennon's original Quarrymen.

		Guy Davis made his Toronto debut at a North by Northeast showcase last year and performed at Soul `n Blues later that summer.

		Guy is not one to define Robert Johnson as the focus (or should we say, locus) of the blues.

		Guy Davis started his performing career as an actor--he was Dr. Josh Hall on One Life to Live in the 1980s and he played Robert Johnson in the off-Broadway play Trick the Devil--and his first recordings, while quite good, sometimes sounded as if he were just playing the role of a bluesman.
		On Legacy, Guy Davis serves notice that he isn't merely acting as a bluesman, but that he is emerging as the genuine article.
		The cartoon insert of the Legacy CD includes Guy meeting the devil at the crossroads, and the devil observes that "only 2 percent of your audience is fl." And Guy's first cut, "Uncle Tom's Dead," on "Legacy" (recorded with his son) addresses this very issue, as it's an exchange over the significance of the blues.

		Guy Davis is part of what I consider an artistic elite with counts among its ranks people like Bary Windsor Smith, Mickeal Mignola, Dan Brereton and a few other that have yet to find the concept that will push their talent to something truly groundbreaking or something that reaches a lot of people.
		You had a guy that was stretching the full possibilities of his talent while doing a popular character and it was very successful without the creator compromising anything artisticly(au contraire, Barry did things on it he had never done before).
		And it`s a shame since these guys are part of what I consider an elite as being the best in their fields.
