From the infectious opening notes of "Georgia Jelly Roll" through the stomping sounds of the closing "New Shoes," Call Down the Thunder is honest, raw, from-the-gut blues music, imbued with the joy of a gospel meeting. Guy Davis is a master storyteller, penning ten of the 13 songs included here. His slide playing is exceptional and at times very reminiscent of Robert Johnson. ~ Bob Gottlieb
