Reverend Gary Davis (born 1896 in Laurens, South Carolina), who performed as Blind Gary, Gary Davis, Blind Gary Davis and Rev. Gary Davis, was a unique figure in blues: a guitarist, singer and songwriter who also played banjo and harmonica. Early on he was a leading master of the Piedmont blues native to his region. He then became an ordained minister and moved to New York, where he joined the folk/blues revival of the 1950s. His music shifted toward gospel and themes of faith, yet remained authentic blues. Davis’s virtuoso guitar technique strongly influenced the post-war generation of bluesmen.
His legacy is gathered in an 83-track, 4-CD anthology. It includes 78 rpm singles up to 1949 released on ARC, Perfect, Conqueror, Melotone and Lenox, as well as material from albums of 1954–1962: “The Singing Reverend” (Stinson), “Harlem Street Spirituals” (Riverside), “A Little More Faith” and “Say No To The Devil” (Bluesville), and “Pure Religion And Bad Company” (77 Records). The set bridges the two stages of his career and shows the breadth of talent and musical range of one of the genre’s key musicians.
