Der legendäre Blind Gary Davis, auch bekannt als Reverend Gary Davis, war ein mächtiger Gospel- und Folk-Blues-Sänger und meisterhafter Akustikgitarrist. Nur mit Daumen und Zeigefinger produzierte er einen vielstimmigen Stil und sein virtuoses Fingerpicking war ein wichtiger Einfluss auf viele andere Musiker, wie Blind Boy Fuller und Brownie McGhee.
In den 1950er und 1960er Jahren unterrichtete Davis und trat in New York City auf und wurde ein Mentor für Folk-Legenden wie Ramblin‘ Jack Elliott, Dave Van Ronk und Bob Dylan, um nur einige zu nennen. Harlem Street Singer ist eines seiner kultigsten Alben.
Recorded during a three hour session on August 24, 1960, Gary Davis laid down 12 of his most impassioned spirituals for Harlem Street Singer. Starting off the session with a version of Blind Willie Johnson's "If I Had My Way I'd Tear That Building Down," here renamed "Samson and Delilah," Davis is in fine form. His vocals are as expressive as Ray Charles' while similar in richness to Richie Havens' work. Harlem Street Singer features his inspired country blues fingerpicking as well. Many moods color the selections, from the gentle "I Belong to the Band" to the mournful "Death Don't Have No Mercy," only to be followed by the joyous shouting of "Goin' to Sit Down on the Banks of the River." Overall, the collection is well worth the purchase and should be considered essential listening for fans of country blues or gospel. ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide
