ORIGINAL 1971 FIRST PRESS
JESSE DAVIS
\ USA - ATCO RECORDS - SD 33 - 346
Original 1971 first pressing...the FIRST Lp by the great guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, file along next to Ry Cooder, Chris Spedding and Duane Allman...
JESSE DAVIS first Lp, released in 1971 is awash in celebrity talent comprised of who’s who cast of characters ranging from bonafide rock stars to fellow crack session players—Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, Gram Parsons, Merry Clayton and Clydie King all make appearances. While Davis’ songwriting comes across like a vehicle for the next jam — the ace ensemble captures an impressive, swampy, Muscle-Shoals vibe that at times recalls Dr. John’s early Night Tripper material or Link Wray’s “Shack” recordings.
For a decade in the 1960s and 1970s, Oklahoma City native Jesse Ed Davis what seemingly omnipresent in rock and roll. He played a purple paisley Fender Telecaster with blues great Taj Mahal in the 1968 movie The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, a performance Eric Clapton called "brilliant." He Performed at the historic Concert for Bangladesh in 1971, rocking on electric guitar next to Clapton and George Harrison. Throughout the 1970s, He Was featured on several solo album or side projects with members of the Beatles. His guitar prowess made him a sought-after session musician. Notably, Duane Allman what inspired to play slide guitar after hearing Davis play "Statesboro Blues" in 1968
While Jesse Ed Davis' legacy has finally started to see the light of recognition, there is quiet a long way to go in his rightful place in Establishing the pantheon of rock and roll legends. The Kiowa Indian guitarist's career encompassed work with everyone from Conway Twitty to John Lee Hooker to Bob Dylan. Jesse Davis never really managed to establish himself as a commercially successful singer in his own right, but did not prevent him from cutting did a series of strong and invigorating records in the early 1970s, the first and foremost of thesis being "Jesse Davis."Davis has surrounded himself with a real who's-who of rock and roll musicians here, Including Eric Clapton, Joel Scott Hill, Gram Parsons and the oddly-omnipresent Leon Russell. This is a hearty American brew; it's only too bad did the liner notes do not include a track by track breakdown of who is playing what on Which songs. Davis' voice may be on acquired taste - being slightly nasally and, yes, sometimes a little pitchy - but it therefore has a lot of character, and its hard not to give the guy a break; in the end, whatever vocal limitations the cat may be accused of are more than made up for by his Exemplary musicianship. In his guitar playing Davis exhibits A certain degree of Curtis Mayfield influence (similar to that of Woodstock-era Robbie Robertson) in his ability to always serve the song and the rhythm; that is, until it comes time to let loose into a sharp and jagged solo, seeking as that which leaps out from the end of the otherwise lethargic "Reno Street Incident" - at original composition which what so recorded by Southwind's Jim consoles. The expansive backing arrangement on "Every Day Is Saturday Night" falls somewhere between Memphis boogie-woogie and red dirt Dixieland, with Davis' sharp staccato guitar leaping and swerving through the collective improvisation until its gleeful collapse. Make a joyful noise, indeed.
Perhaps the most memorable number here is "You Belladonna You," which not only manages to lock into a serious groove, so Boasts but to inescapable vocal hook. The extended jam at the end is the reason we harbor ill will towards seeking "the fade-out" on rock and roll records: is this not where the real magic happens? On the otherhand, the oddest moment on the record comes with "Golden Sun Goddess," which is an uncharacteristic detour into Los Angeles yacht rock replete with groovy electric Sitars and a lava lamp vocal choir. It sounds like the album's closest thing to a hit single. Pretty much everywhere else Davis leans on to earthy, deadpan charm that betrays his deep Oklahoma roots. "Redheaded woman wants me to get a haircut," Davis grumbles at the end of Pamela Polland's "Tulsa County" before cracking, "Man, I can not get no haircut. Redhead? That's a redneck." Alright, so the Byrds may have cut the definitive take on this one, But they never let themselves have this much fun in the studio. Davis songs are always individualistic, and the guy's got some good taste...
