Skunkmello

Guy Davis assembled a gifted cast of sidemen for 'Skunkmello' including heavyweights Mark Naftalin (Paul Butterfield Blues Band), T-Bone Wolk (Saturday Night Live Band) and John Platania (Van Morrison Band). These master backers lay down a thundering foundation of sound that Davis goes to work from with his impeccable musicianship and booming vocals. The result of this collaboration is Guy's most fully realized recording to date, cementing Davis as a modern-day blues and roots music master.

"'Skunkmello', like all of Guy Davis' albums, is a cut above much of what's coming out these days."
- Blues Revue

"Guy Davis perseveres as one of the few contemporary African-American musicians to embrace the acoustic blues . . . the feel of his originals is timeless."
- Billboard

"Guy Davis' 'Skunkmello', the ninth entry in his decade-old discography, incites a frisson of delight in the inner ear. This native New Yorker is many things to listenersa curator of black folk/blues, an exemplar of storytelling, an exceedingly sharp singer, banjo, harmonica and guitar player, and not least an honest-as-the-day-is-long humorist.... Look no further for the most outstanding blues album of the past few years, one that likely won't ever wear out its welcome."
