Davy Knowles is from the Isle of Man, in the heart of the Irish Sea between England and Ireland, much farther than three miles from Avalon, the mythical home of Ancient Britain’s Celtic priests. And apart from the title track, there is nothing ethereal or mystic about album. It is, simply, one of the best blues albums I have heard in years, and that includes from veterans and newcomers alike.
The CD could easily have been called Three Miles from America. Everything on this CD is firmly rooted in American rock, much the way the British Blues Invasion of the 60s was. You will hear influences from classic rock, gospel & spiritual, and even power ballad, but the blues is the bedrock on which Knowles built this album.
Knowles is an excellent guitarist who uses the instrument to serve the music, not overpower it. But it is his expressive, passionate voice that propels this CD to greatness.
