Joe Satriani called Davy Knowles his favorite modern bluesman. Peter Frampton termed him the gunslinger guitarist of the 21st century. He’s known for his perfect blend of blues and straightforward rock and roll, rife with meaningful lyrics. With his latest album, the roots singer-songwriter and guitarist steps forward with timeless and cohesive songwriting and a lyrical, play-for-the-song guitar approach informed from soul, folk, rock, and blues. His new work is something of a departure from Knowles’ fired-up and reverent take on blues and Americana, featuring poetic songwriting and soulfully emotive vocals winding through brawny riffs, jazzy blues balladry, and vintage soul.
