My next album

I am a big fan of the blues, and gospel as well. So the Reverend Gary Davis was close to perfection to me. Tonight we were listening to Woodsongs after Prairie Home Companion (the second excellent Woodsongs show in a row - I have a blog post on hold about the other one until their podcasts catch up with last week's show). Anyway, tonight was completely dedicated to Marie Knight and her new tribute album to Gary Davis.

Wow.

That CD will be in this house in under a week. If only for I'll Fly Away, a song I love to sing (I can naturally find the bass vocal for it in any arrangement I hear). Larry Campbell on guitar. Tonight, former Gary Davis pupil Janis Ian (yes, that Janis Ian) was playing bass. M.C. Records owner Mark Carpentieri on drums. What a show. What great praise-filled, heartfelt music.

Let Us Get Together, by roots music publisher M.C. Records. Joe Bob sez "Check it out." Really. And if you don't know the work of Reverend Gary Davis, now is the time to fix that.
