Debbie Davies is one of the top blues artists in the world. An award winning singer, songwriter, and guitar player, she has been a professional musician since the early 1980s. She has received ten nominations for Blues Music Awards, and in 1997 and 2010 won the award for Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist. Davies cut her teeth playing in blues and rock 'n roll bands in the San Francisco Bay area before returning to Los Angeles in 1984, where she played lead guitar in Maggie Mayall and the Cadillacs, an all-female band led by wife of British blues pioneer, John Mayall. In 1988 she was recruited by Albert Collins to join the Icebreakers, and for the next three years she was a featured guitarist performing behind one of the most innovative bluesmen of all time. Debbie played on John Mayall's 1990 album, A Sense of Place, and in 1991 she recorded with Albert Collins and the Icebreakers on the Grammy nominated self-titled release for Point Blank/Virgin Records. In September 1993 Davies came out with her debut solo release on Blind Pig Records, which featured a cameo by Collins. Since then, Debbie has produced eleven solo recordings (including 2009's ground-breaking and acclaimed all instrumental Holding Court, on Little Dipper/Vizztone) and two collaborative CD's with guitarists Tab Benoit, Kenny Neal, Anson Funderburgh and Otis Grand. The roster of other artists who have joined Debbie on her recordings reads like a who's who of the blues: Albert Collins, Ike Turner, JamesCotton, Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Coco Montoya, Duke Robillard, Tommy Shannon, Chris "Whipper" Layton, Sugar Ray Norcia, Charlie Musselwhite, Bruce Katz. Debbie also played with Robin Rogers and Tommy Castro's Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise Revue. Debbie Davies' music has always encompassed many of the blues styles as well as reflected the music she heard as a youth. So when she sings It's All Blues, she is truly putting her arms around all of the blues styles from Chicago to New Orleans, New York to Austin, to LA. LOVE SPIN reaffirms Debbie's place among the blues elite. In addition to her usual band mates, the album features Terry Hanck (sax, vocals), Dana Robbins (sax), Dave Keys (piano) and Jay Stollman (vocals).
