Guy Davis covers Bob Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay” on Guy’s new release “Kokomo Kidd.”
“Davis hits all the high marks on Kokomo Kidd, releasing his best album to date” – No Depression
After carrying the blues around the world, from the Equator to the Arctic Circle, Guy Davis came back with some fresh inspiration and new stories to tell. Kokomo Kidd, his first all-new album in six years, finds the blues ambassador visiting fresh territory. “It’s a new beginning for me,” he says, “The first time I produced myself. “What I‘m showing here is a side of me that’s deep inside. It’s needing air and light, and here it comes!”
Guy Davis’ work as an actor, author, and lately teacher earmark him as a renaissance man of the blues. What music and acting have in common, he explains, “is that I don’t like people to see the hard work and the sweat that goes into what I do. I want them to hear me and be uplifted. And I want some little eight-year-old kid in the front row to have big eyes and say, ‘Hey, I want to do that!’.”
