| During
the Fall 2010 tour Boo Boo and the guys got a lot of idea’s and decided
to record them on one of the off days. As usual all original songs and
with Boo Boo you never know what will happen. This time he surprised us
again and he even had a Christmas and a gospel song. For the recording
they picked a funky (but full analog) studio in rural Switzerland;
nothing beats the sound of warm tubes and real tape. All tracks were
recorded in six hours / one take with all three guys in the same room.
Raw, loud and simple, just like they sound live on stage.

| In
the summer of 2009 Boo Boo had the pleasure and the honor of playing on
a string of big blues & jazz festivals all over Europe. During
those long travels they got a lot of ideas for new songs. So in the
middle of the tour they went into the studio for two days and recorded
this new record. All songs were played live in the studio without any
overdubs and for most songs the first take turned out to be the best
one. They didn’t ‘polish’ or ‘fix’ anything; this is exactly how they
sound live.
DOUG MACLEOD: “I don’t like doing liner notes. But I like Boo Boo and I like this record. So I’m here to tell you that this is one funky record. Just three guys laying down some strong Mississippi style blues. A lot of different feels, emotions, and some fine musicianship. How funky is this record? If these guys moved in next door to you . . . . . . . . . . . your lawn dies. “ |

| All
the music and extemporaneous sounds that you'll hear on this record are
coming from Boo Boo's vocal chords and harmonica, John's drum kit or
Jan's guitars. What started as a crazy idea after the tour with Boo Boo
in October 2007 has turned out to be not too crazy at all. On the
Spring Tour of 2008 they decided to leave out the bass and tour as a
trio. The audiences loved it and were amazed all that sound was coming
from just three pieces. John created a great drum kit (100% Radio King
with real skin heads) around his 60+ years old 28 inch bass drum and
Jan bought a baritone guitar and put very heavy strings on his regular
guitar. These were the ingredients that produced this big authentic
sound. Unlike many modern blues bands, Boo Boo and his band focus on
the groove, the feel, and the basic truths found in the blues. Blues
doesn't come any 'realer' then this. |

Boo Davis is the REAL DEAL. He is coming from the same area, period and
tradition as most of the blues greats. He continues to write and sing
his music which comes from first hand experience born from the Delta.
So far Boo Boo has released three very well received CD s on Black and
Tan. For this new recording project, Boo Boo teamed up with Ramon Goose
(from nublues) and they fused the raw blues sounds from the Mississippi
delta with modern grooves. Like all the greats from the blues history
Boo Boo's singing has a timeless component that makes his message come
thru loud and clear. |

| It's
Boo Boo Davis' third album since he started out on Black & Tan
in 1999. Boo has come a long way and is still evolving. He's like a
diamond in the rough. He's got a great sense for music and like his
mentors often makes his lines up on the spot. In his music you can hear
and feel how he honed his skills in the juke joints of East St Louis.
An album with Boo's typical raw and wild juke joint blues that recalls
the heydays of the late Wolf, but also some tracks with a different
flavor. |

| Can
Man is the second title by vocalist, drummer Boo Boo Davis out of St
Louis, Missouri. The album was cut after a short European tour last
year in Holland. Where a very inspired Boo Boo brought nothing but
originals to the studio. Songs that draw their inspiration from topics
out of every day life and things he lived or witnessed in his life. The
final result is stunning. Boo's gravely voice recalls the vocal power
of nobody else than Howlin' Wolf, but Boo is very much his own man. |

| This one is on drummer/vocalist Boo Boo
Davis out of St Louis, Missourri. He used to play the renowned blues
club Tubby's Red Room in East St Louis with his brothers, called the
Davis Brothers. It's a very raw sound reminiscent to the powerful music
of Howlin' Wolf in his heydays, however Boo never steps into the
imitation trap and stays true to himself and his style. |
