I’d 100% recommend Cyril to anyone excited by what was going on blues/R&B-wise in London in 61-64. Give me a shottie of TARDIS, and I’d be back there, then stop off in Memphis in ‘68 to tell Elvis to get rid of Lamar Fike and the other Graceland hangers-on, before nipping down to Stax studios on McLemore Avenue to whisper in Otis Redding’s lug, “Dinna go on that flight, min”.

EDIT: Trying to send pics which are refusing to load. What fùckery’s this NOW, Sibo, min?

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.

If you’ve not already devoured it, Andrew Humphreys’s ‘Raving Upon Thames’ is a comprehensive look at Richmond, and Eel Pie Island as the scene there developed from jazz via blues and soul and Proper Mannies’ R&B, to something of an all-encompassing mélange.
