I've recently discovered Guy Davis, and i'm impressed with the range of his blues. I understand that he sometimes plays a banjo, and i'd like to know whether he plays one on any of his many cds. Anyone know?

	majikgator says: 5/29/2012 7:47:25 AM I really like Guy Davis on banjo. i am not crazy about his taking writing credit for songs written by others but i guess that's nothing new and was done by the same people that we now assign those credits to. He seems to play very simply but somehow i don't seem to be able to copy him.
