He’s a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer. He’s appeared on television, in film, on the stage, both with and without his famous actor-activist parents Ruby Dee and the late Ossie Davis. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. For the past decade, he has concen- trated much of his efforts on writing, recording, and performing music. Since 1995, he has released 13 albums, many of which have won him blues and independent music awards. His 2004 release, "Legacy," was recognized as one of the best of the year by Rolling Stone, NPR and DownBeat. Of the numerous compilation and tribute albums that he has con- tributed to, Guy is proudest of his contribution to “I Will Be Your Friend: Songs and Activi- ties for Young Peacemakers”, in which Guy contributes the title track. The CD is part of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s national “Teaching Tolerance” (www.tolerance.org) campaign. "Like the best early bluesmen, Guy Davis is, at heart, a story- teller.
