Recommend “Preachin’ The Blues: The Cyril Davies Memorial Album”. Two discs (CD) fifty tracks Great Voices Of The Century 2014 GVC2040. You’re welcome.
I'm not a huge blues/R&B lover, but do like a lot of the music from the era due to the general excitement of the era and what it produced. I've read loads of books on the era too, which has also whetted my appetite for it over the years and increased my knowledge of it. The stories of the bands/personnel are as legendary as the actual music being made.

I shall certainly be tracking down some Cyril Davies.
