A stately, relaxed session from the end of Davis' life. Having played on the street from the late 20s until the 40s, the folk festival circut had finally brought Davis enough money to take it easy & own a house in Jamaica. The tempo really suits a couple of the minor key songs, and his self-taught technique of fingerpicking a bass line with his left hand is easier to catch than on some other recordings. Tracklisting: How Happy I Am, I Heard the Angels Sing, Samson and Delilah, Children of Zion, Soon My Work Will All Be Done, Talk On the Corner, Sally Where'd You Get Your Whiskey, Hesitation Blues, Whistling Blues, Lost John.
