In the hands of Guy
and a few of his peers, the traditional blues forms remain timeless – as
relevant in 2013 as they were 30, 50 or 80 years
ago.

Guy Davis…is a terrific Piedmont blues
picker, Davis never loses sight of the blues as good time music, the original
forum for dancing on top of one's sorrows." -- Dave
Marsh
Killer stuff that really
connects.

Juba Dance has its heart in the exact
right place.
Something
Else
Weaving through the rhythms and musical narrations of
this 13-track, stripped down acoustic recording are the American storytelling
traditions that Guy Davis has pulled from since he came on the scene in 1978.
Original Davis compositions played alongside choice covers of iconic pre-war
blues figures Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Robert Wilkins, and Blind Willie
McTell provide a seamless musical hand-off that is as familiar and undulating as
their source in the southern countryside. What in lesser hands could have
descended into easy sentimentalism instead comes together under Davis’
passionate musicianship into an original and soaring sonic journey.
Juba Dance has feet planted in worlds both old and
new; in blues, folk, and our country’s singular, rich African American musical
heritage, and it impresses with every step how vital to our understanding of
American life these authentic musical forms still are today.
