Thought by many to be deceased, singer James Davis returned from musical invisibility to make this sparkling comeback set for Black Top.
His hearty pipes sounding anything but over-the-hill, Davis roared a combination of his own fine tunes and remakes of songs first done by Bobby Bland, James Carr, and Wynonie Harris in front of a terrific combo (guitarists Anson Funderburgh and Clarence Hollimon, saxist Grady Gaines).
A revival of his own slow blues "Your Turn to Cry" recalled Davis's early-'60s glory days.
