Editorial review
Davin James possesses a deep, rich voice that is pitched somewhere between John Hammond, Jr.'s blues pipes and Waylon Jennings' outlaw country vocals, and he uses it to evocative effect on this release. He's also a formidable guitar talent. Magnolia's roving muse swings through Gulf Coast blues stylings, straight-up country, and country-rock. The album starts with the ringing guitar leads of "I Thought, She'd Think," which is a melodic slab of upbeat country-rock. The title track, meanwhile, is dusty country blues, while "The One That Got Away" hunkers down into heart-rending traditional country. "N'Awlins Night" has to be James' <i>pi?ce de r?sistance</i>, however, with his jazzy crooning and nimble fingerpicking sounding as aged and colorful as the city to which he's paying tribute. In a genre populated with too many "all hat and no country" talents, this Texas artist proves on Magnolia that he's in a league with such fellow "real deals" as Dallas Wayne and Redd Volkaert. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Davin James is bigger than life, but not big enough to contain the music that explodes out of him every time he picks up a guitar.
He's a showman through and through. James figures there's no point in getting up on that stage if you're not willing to strut your stuff - that's guitar playing that rivals the likes of B.B. King, Toy Caldwell, and Stevie Ray Vaughn; and powerhouse vocals tailor-made for music that stretches from Cajun and Gulf blues to rock and traditional country. He tops it off with showmanship that grabs an audience and never lets go. James is an entertainer right down to the tips of his flashy handmade boots.
Born in Jackson, Mississippi, he grew up in Louisiana and Arkansas, and landed in South Texas when he was twelve. James soaked up the music around him along the way; especially the country music he picked up from hanging around his dad.
