Tree man

"Tree Man wasn't recorded in a club, but it could have easily been. Captured live in the studio with no overdubs, the guys at Black and Tan understood that Davis' music has to be rendered strictly on his own terms, performed the way he's been performing for some sixty odd years ... Davis' blues harp is a runaway freight train ... Though Davis is backed by only guitar (Jan Mittendorp) and drums (John Gerritse), sometimes this trio makes a sound that fills up a large room ... sometimes, there's no substitution for the blues played by someone who has lived that bluesman life for all of his nearly eighty years on Earth. Tree Man is as real as it gets".
