Thread Name: OBIT: Governor Jimmie Davis (1899-2000)
Subject: RE: Governor Jimmie Davis. R.I.P.
Digging out the Bear Family LP 'Rockin' Blues', I find that there were 2 guitarists on 'She Left a-Runnin' Like a Sewing Machine' - Quinn and Buddy Jones, and Quinn played lead. I think I had better go and lie down - that's more than enough stuffups for one day.

Anyhow, most of Davis' blues offerings were collected together on 2 LPs: 'Rockin' Blues' Bear Family LP BFX 15125 and 'Barnyard Stomp' Bear Family LP BFX 15285. They are great LPs if you come across them in second-hand record stores. The only other way you can get all the blues tracks is to buy the first of the 2 Bear Family box sets devoted to Davis: 'Nobody's Darlin' But Mine' - a 5 CD set. The rest of his career is covered in a second 5 CD set, titled 'You Are My Sunshine'.
