DISCOGRAPHY 1979-2021 (11CD)
BIOGRAPHY
Davis was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and was raised in England, Arkansas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. He swapped playing the drums to learn to play the bass guitar. In the mid-1950s, he had a working partnership with Fenton Robinson, and following the recommendation of Bobby Bland was given a recording contract by Duke Records.
Davis had three singles released, which included "Texas Flood" and "Angels in Houston". Thereafter, he had limited opportunity in the recording studio. He resided in St. Louis, Missouri, for a while, and played bass in Albert King's group. He also learned to play the guitar at this time; the guitar on Davis's recording of "Texas Flood" was by played by Robinson.
Several single releases on the Virgo and Kent labels followed, but in
1972 a motorcycle accident temporarily paralyzed Davis's left side. He
returned a decade later with an album released by Rooster Blues, Funny
Stuff, produced by Oliver Sain. He won four W. C. Handy Awards in
1982, but a decade later he was known only to blues specialists. His
1987 Pulsar LP, I Ain't Beggin' Nobody, was difficult even for blues
enthusiasts to locate.
In 1992, Bullseye Blues issued another album, Sooner or Later,
highlighting his booming vocals and guitar playing influenced by
Albert King.
Davis died of cancer in April 1994, at the age of 57.
