"When Gary Davis got religion in 1933 his lyrics turned away from the secular but his music stayed firmly rooted in the blues structures he'd grown up with. The omission of words with the guitar predominating, and the creation of melody lines with the left hand alone on the fingerboard were but two of the characteristics which defined his music. From his rural upbringing in South Carolina where he played with Leadbelly, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and gave guitar instruction to Blind Boy Fuller, Davis moved to New York in the 30s and made a hazardous living singing on the streetcorners of Harlem. This collection dates from sessions in 1960-61, supervised by folklorist Kenneth Goldstein - Philip Elwood"
