JethroTull Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm just sick watching Rev. Davis videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can't watch videos on this computer, but am very familiar with Rev. Gary Davis' music. "Death don't have no Mercy", "I am the Light of this World" and "Keep your Lamps Trimmed and Burning" are among my favorites. Jorma Kaukonen is also one of his students, and these songs and many others are featured in Hot Tuna albums and still today in their shows. Absolutely love it, can't get enough!

jimmie ray Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is some collection! Johnny Cash's "Big River" would have been a good addition, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is some collection! Johnny Cash's "Big River" would have been a good addition, too? There would have been lots of good additions but I feel it is a nice start. According to the liner notes the compilers (one of whom is David Gans of The Grateful Dead Hour) weren't always able to use the versions of the songs they wanted due to copyright restrictions. And in some cases, the only versions available were on vinyl so the quality when transferred to CD weren't always the best. Still, a damn good compilation and a very worthy addition to any Grateful Dead fan's record collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
