Subject: Guy Davis - the best modern bluesman?
I do folk - because it's what I do, but we don't get many blues threads on here. I was inspired by the latest comments on the Maxscepade thread to look for some Guy Davis stuff.

So http://guydavis.com/guydavis/videoclips.htm

For real lovers of minutiae, there is one clip of Guy playing an old Hagstrom but unless my eyes deceive me it's not what was his trademark Hagstrom Sammy H-22 but, I think, an H-45 (or J-45) and maybe (it's hard to get a good look at the relevant external features) a very early ladder-frame top-bout fan-strutted lower-bout one - of which I have one example on my wall but mine is a redburst not a tobaccoburst.

He is a very very impressive blues player and singer.
