BOO BOO DAVIS/ NAME OF THE GAME
Boo Boo Davis is a survivor and belongs to one of the last generations of
musicians that write and play the blues based on first hand experience of a
hard life in the Mississippi Delta. He was born and raised in Drew,
Mississippi where times were tough and everybody had to work the fields.
Sharecroppers sang loudly to help pass the grueling hours of work and
without a doubt Boo Boo developed his loud, bellowing voice based on the
singing he heard in the fields as a young boy. In fact, that voice, through
the years has demolished many amps and speaker cabinets.
All the music and extemporaneous sounds that you'll hear on this new record
are coming from Boo Boo's vocal chords and harmonica, John's drum kit or Jan's
guitars. What started as a crazy idea after the tour with Boo Boo in October
2007 has turned out to be not too crazy at all. On the Spring Tour of 2008
they decided to leave out the bass and tour as a trio. The audiences loved
it and were amazed all that sound was coming from just three pieces. Unlike
many modern blues bands, Boo Boo and his band focus on the groove, the feel,
and the basic truths found in the blues. Blues doesn't come any 'realer'
then this.
You can listen to tracks from the new record at Boo Boo's MySpace
