"Rediscovered by Hammond Scott, Lloyd Lambert and Jeff Hannusch, James "Thunderbird" Davis finally finds the opportunity to record a first complete album. This is a superb achievement produced by brothers Hammond & Nauman Scott. Behind James, there is an all-star backing band with Clarence Hollimon, Anson Funderburgh, Ron Levy, Lloyd Lambert, Grady Gaines, Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff. Particularly at ease, James performs his repertoire - covers and original compositions - between Blues and brassy Rhythm & Blues. Some remarkable gems like "I'm ready now", "You did me wrong", "Check out time", "What else is there to do", "Come by here", "I should've known better".
Thought by many to be deceased, singer James Davis returned from musical invisibility to make this sparkling comeback set for Black Top. His hearty pipes sounding anything but over-the-hill, Davis roared a combination of his own fine tunes and remakes of songs first done by Bobby Bland, James Carr, and Wynonie Harris in front of a terrific combo (guitarists Anson Funderburgh and Clarence Hollimon, saxist Grady Gaines). A revival of his own slow blues "Your Turn to Cry" recalled Davis's early-'60s glory days" ~ Eric S.(1990).
