A new album from Guy Davis is always a notable occasion, each invariably providing lots of traditional rootsy blues alongside a few unusual but enjoyable interludes.

This new CD is no exception, recorded in Italy (mostly) and with the tasteful blues harp of Fabrizio Poggi (on about a half of the tracks) providing the only instrumental support to Guy's own acoustic guitars, banjos, tambourine and occasional harmonica playing by Guy himself.

Some of the most notable highlights come from Guy's vocal exchanges on a couple of songs - particularly good is the vocal support of the Blind Boys Of Alabama on an expanded version of Blind Lemon Jefferson's See That My Grave Is Kept Clean. The other covers (of Blind Willie McTell, Muddy Waters, Reverend Robert Wilkins and Ishman Bracey) are more faithful to the originals but, as always with Guy, have enough of his personality stamped over them to make these versions his. And the originals are excellent: particularly enjoyable Love Looks Good On You, an evocative and beautifully paced song that calls to mind the early recordings of Taj Mahal.
