CYRIL
DAVIES was perhaps the pivotal figure in the development of UK Blues and
R&B, his pioneering work with Alexis Korner between the mid '50s and early
'60s laying down the roots for a scene from which bands like The Stones later
emerged. Sadly, his own life and career were cut tragically short in January
1964 when he died, suddenly and unexpectedly, of endocarditis.
This is
the first anthology of Cyril s work, features virtually every track that Cyril
is known to have played and/or sung on, ranging from a 1954 home recording to a
clutch of tracks with The R&B All-Stars, cut in 1963 at the height of the
British R&B/Beat Boom that, had tragedy not intervened, threatened to make
him into a household name. Along the way, we encounter such important career
milestones as his first official recording session, his genuinely
ground-breaking partnership with Alexis Korner, and a veritable host of
impossibly rare vinyl releases.
