Jesse Davis Exclusive LP

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Native American guitarist Jesse Davis (a.k.a. Jesse Ed Davis) was the go-to sideman for a remarkable group of musicians. Starting in the mid-Sixties, he toured with Conway Twitty, then become a key part of Taj Mahals band, playing on several albums and tours including an appearance on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. And lets not forget he paired up with Leon Russell to play on Bob Dylans single Watching the River Flow followed by accompanying George Harrison during the Concert For Bangla Desh.

By now, hed caught the eyes and ears of ATCO Records, who released his debut LP Jesse Davis in 1971 featuring Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Gram Parsons, Merry Clayton, Ben Sidran, John Simon (producer of The Band), Alan White (of Yes), and many others including Delaney Bramlett behind the mixing desk. But supergroup aside, this record is a flat-out roots-rock classic, with Jesses inimitable personality bubbling through every laconically-sung lyric and tasty lick.
