He performed locally through the entire 1950s and ’60s, with close friends such as for example Robert Nighthawk, Big Joe Williams and Charlie Jordan. Following a group of compilation performances and many live schedules in NY, Fat Possum Information agreed upon Davis. Noted blues journalist Robert Palmer created his debut, Feel just like Doin’ SOMETHING AMISS (1994). THE VERY BEST Of… (1995) was also released, with help from Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Recovery Device. The Horror of EVERYTHING implemented in 1998. Davis had taken time from documenting after these produces, and spent another four years composing and executing. When he came back towards the studio room, he drafted music artists like R.E.M.’s Peter Buck as well as the Screaming Trees and shrubs’ Barrett Martin into his periods.
