A Rising Star You Need To Hear

Hey everybody its a new week and time for a new blog post here at Music Reviews by a Musician. The topic of today's blog post will focus on an up and coming British guitarist/vocalist; Davy Knowles.


Shown above is Knowles' guitars, mostly
Paul Reed Smith's as he is an avid fan of them.

 
Knowles is a young guitarist from the Isle of Man. He currently plays with his band, Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam, and he has released two albums, "Roll Away" and most recently "Coming Up For Air" which was produced by Peter Frampton.

Knowles is definitely what I would like to call a guitar virtuoso. He has a great bluesy/rock sound and has the gritty voice and great songs to go with it. Just listen to rocking songs such as "Tear Down The Walls", "Riverbed", and "Come Home" or even acoustically driven songs such as "Roll Away" or "Too Good For Me" and you can see this young artist's musical potential.

This young artist has also covered some great tunes such as the Blind Joe Reynolds classic "Outside Woman Blues" and the John Hiatt track, made famous by Eric Clapton/BB King called "Riding With The King". In many of the songs that Knowles does you can definitely hear this guy's bluesy shredding ability.

Basically Davy Knowles has the ability to wow and amaze lots of people in my opinion. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a bigger name in the U.S. as he is already a big name over in Europe. Given time and exposure, I feel people will really see the great music that Davy Knowles has to offer.

Until next time keep on rocking away music lovers,
