Holdin' Court

A pioneering woman in the world of electric blues guitar and a veteran of 22 years on the road, Debbie Davies brings her seasoned licks and soulful sensitivity to her twelfth solo release, the groundbreaking, all instrumental Holdin' Court. Along with a collection of her own originals, this VizzTone release is peppered with homages to the electric blues players of the 1960s such as Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Gatemouth Brown, and Kenny Burrell, who all inspired her to pick up the guitar and play this music in the first place. Having shared the studio and stage with a veritable 'who's who' of top blues artists (Albert Collins, John Mayall, Duke Robillard, Bob Margolin, Coco Montoya, Tab Benoit, Charlie Musselwhite, Double Trouble and more), this time Debbie brings her road tested trio into the studio and keeps it simple. With the addition of Paul Opalach on the organ, the sound is classic and tight.
