Renowned for his sophisticated guitar technique and his synthesis of folk, blues, and jazz, he also possessed a deep, powerful voice that was gruff yet melodious. Religion played an important role in the life of this blind musician, exemplified by his experiences in the Carolinas as a traveling gospel preacher. He began recording in the '40s after moving to New York City (when he was already an ordained priest) and later had a profound impact on the bohemian folk music scene of the '50s. As a mentor to many folk revival musicians, Rev. Davis transmitted his style to a new generation that revered his guitar mastery and the profound simplicity of his lyrics about troubles and redemption. - Robert LeaverAcoustic Bluesen720Mon, 7 Dec 2009 22:53:27 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69036&rws=%2Freverend-gary-davis%2Fdiscography.rss A figure as legendary for his influence on other musicians as for his musical output, Davis first became known as a guitar virtuoso in the 1920s, when he played frequently on the streets.
