Guy Davis - Chocolate To The Bone
Review by Sibyl Chavis
Guy Davis' album Chocolate To The Bone is a soulful and bluesy collection of songs that showcases his exceptional talent as a musician and storyteller. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are performed with Davis' signature gritty vocals and masterful guitar playing.
The title track, "Chocolate To The Bone," is a standout with its infectious groove and catchy chorus. Davis' cover of Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues" is also a highlight, with its driving rhythm and Davis' expressive slide guitar work.
Throughout the album, Davis' lyrics are both introspective and socially conscious, touching on themes of love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life. His storytelling abilities are particularly evident on tracks like "Uncle Tom Is Dead," which tells the story of a man grappling with the legacy of slavery and racism in America.
