In total Davis has performed and written on twelve albums with a wide range of influences, Hard Rock, Southern Rock, Old School R&B Soul and now the Blues. On his latest offering Derek Davis weaves early Delta Blues, Americana, Folk, Hillbilly Twang, Southern Rock, Traditional and Jump Blues all into one. Twelve mesmerizing tracks of undeniable depth that pin the listener’s ears back and demand they sit up and take notice. Bottleneck-Slide guitar is prevalent on nearly all the tracks accompanied by some wailing harmonica and sometimes a blistering Texas Telecaster lead will be heard. This is a multifaceted album, a journey of sorts all rolled into one great magical music ride across America down highway 61. The musical vision of Derek Davis, who not only sings and plays all the different guitars and bass on the record, also does a masterful job creating lyrical landscapes with a moving production. The voice of Derek Davis is uncompromising and unmistakable. He belts out each song with emotion, passion and power, using his amazing gift to reach the listener and weave his tales. The voice is gritty yet melodic and every song is sung as it should be. His guitar work is exceptional, raw and captivating.

The OLD SCHOOL album came about quite by accident.  In 2018 I was cleaning out the basement closet at Planet Helix.  What I found were various tapes I had almost forgotten about-2”, ¼”, and a huge box of cassette tapes.  I was going to throw out the 2” tapes until I got a frantic phone call from my old friend Greg Godovitz who realized the tapes’ value.  Greg made me take a serious look at what I had and I realized there was at least a whole album of unreleased material-and so the idea of “OLD SCHOOL” was born.  Incidentally, none of these tracks were ever released, although some of them might have been on our website as “rare tracks” in the past.

   Three of the songs we were able to extract from 2” tape were  recorded for the Back for Another Taste sessions in 1989:  Games Mother Never Taught You, Tie Me Down, and Your Turn to Cry.  Paul Hackman is playing guitar and singing on these tracks.  To “extract” these recordings from the 2” tape we had to take the tapes to Beach Studios outside of Goderich, Ontario and get Siegfried Meier to thermally bake them.   Upon doing so, the tracks were immediately transferred to digital.  Later they were mixed by Siegfried;  some with minor overdubs by Daryl Gray.   One other track-“Cheers” was taken from a cassette tape and cleaned up by Siegfried as well. This song is a live recording off the floor of the studio.

   The other tracks on the album, If Tears Could Talk, Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound, Southern Comfort, Closer, Coming Back with Bigger Guns, and Hound Dog Howlin’ Blues  were re-recorded by “tracing” the songs from cassette tapes.  This was done because the songs were either unfinished or the cassettes were in bad shape.  This re-recording was done by Daryl Gray at Dawghawse Studios in St. Catherines.  Daryl was also the producer of this album.  Over the fall and spring of 2018/2019 Kaleb, Daryl, Fritz, Chris and myself all travelled to St. Catherines to add parts and advise Daryl on how we heard the songs.  By April 2019 we were ready to take the tracks to Siegfried to mix with the help of Daryl and myself.  The result is now before you.

   This album is dedicated to the memory of Paul Hackman, who played on 3 of these tracks and was a co-writer on 8 of the tracks.  He was/is a Canadian musical icon.
