Crumb About the Artist In the 1920’s, the prime of life, the Reverend Gary Davis was one of the two most renowned East Coast ragtime guitar players. Davis was partially blind at birth, and lost what little sight he had before he was an adult. Davis began playing at age six, and by the time he was twenty he was one of the most accomplished guitar players in blues. After spending the next 35 years in relative obscurity playing on the streets of Harlem, he again emerged as one of the giants of Blues, playing live to audiences of thousands. Davis was a major influence and teacher to Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Donovan, Jorma Kaukonen, Ry Cooder and others. ## Images ![Heroes of the Blues - The Very Best of Reverend Gary Davis - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/IMAGERENDERING_521856-T1/images/I/41VESXTC30L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reverend Davis Sings The Blues Away... *by R***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011* ..with full intensity, powerful and electrifying, Rev. Gary Davis is a master of the guitar amongst other great bluesman of the genre, Davis stands alone aside from his religious song structure, an innovater on guitar and strong vocals, the rev. draws the listener right into the heart of the song... the songs featured here are some of the Reverend's best recorded 1930's and early 1960's sides, listening, it's not to hard to tell the time frame as the set rolls on, the audio is excellent throughout this sixteen song set from the Shout Factory label... notable songs: "Sampson and Delilah", "Twelve Gates To The City", "Death Don't Have No Mercy", "Candy Man", Davis does some fine instrumental work on the old blues standards, "Cocaine", "Can't Be Satisfied", and there's some prime banjo pickin' on, "Out On The Ocean Sailing"... Rev. Gary Davis, essential, educational blues listening for everyone and aspiring musicians... the "Heroes Of The Blues" booklet covers are not so attractive or photographic to say the least, the rev. more resembles a cartooned bad Leroy Brown than a bluesman, nevertheless, the liner notes inside are real informative covering Davis' life and career and included are the recording dates of each song... if you dig this dude, also check out Blind Willie Johnson. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly the best. *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020* Great quality CD, excellent selection of tunes. Reverend Gary Davis's star shines bright! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the classics *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020* This is a fine collection of Davis' songs. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/39384605-heroes-of-the-blues-the-very-best-of-reverend-gary](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/39384605-heroes-of-the-blues-the-very-best-of-reverend-gary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
