Album Review:
"Blind John Davis is one of the great blues piano players, often accompanying blues giants such as Big Bill Broonzy and Tampa Red. Although he released a series of solo albums in his lifetime, it is as an accompanist that he gives listeners his best work, but that's not to say there's nothing to commend on this release. Essentially a budget collection of some of Davis' best solo sides, every cut is accomplished boogie piano playing, in the style of, but far more relaxed than, say, Pete Johnson. It's hard to see this release as anything near to definitive, but as a budget introduction to an overlooked pianist it serves its purpose well."

Hi me here again. Please delete my last comment as in my haste I gave the wrong album info. Easily done after being on night shift.
This is a re-issue of the album "Moanin' The Blues". Recorded in Bonn, Germany 1973.
(Positve!)
Played it last night at work and boy is it good. Thanks once again.
