Harlem Street Singer

180gm virgin vinyl. Complete album plus 2 bonus tracks. The legendary Blind Gary Davis, also known as Reverend Gary Davis, was a powerful gospel and folk blues singer and masterful acoustic guitarist. He produced a polyphonic style with the use of only his thumb and index finger, and his virtuosic finger picking was an important influence on many other musicians, such as Blind Boy Fuller and Brownie McGhee. During the 1950's and 1960's, Davis taught and performed in New York City, becoming a beloved mentor to urban folk legends like Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Dave Van Ronk, and Bob Dylan, to name a few. Harlem Street Singer is one of his most iconic albums.
