I just cant put it down! -- Peter Tilden, KZLA 93.9 Product Description I'm Not Gonna Let My Blues Bring Me Down by Brad Davis From the Artist On the rockin, bluesy, title cut, "Im Not Gonna Let Me Blues Get Me Down" Jon Randall Stewart (Sam Bush Band, Emmy Lou Harris Nash Ramblers) sings harmony vocals and swaps guitar solos with Brad. On cut two "Old Number Nine" Brad displays his talent for writing, singing, and playing bluegrass music while bluegrass and newgrass legend Sam Bush masterfully adds his signature mandolin rhythm chop and clean, fluid mandolin solos. On cut five we hear movie star Billy Bob Thornton sing lead on Brads haunting "Tell Me Son." Brad and rock star Tommy Shaw (Styx, Damn Yankees) provide the harmony vocals. This is followed by Brad singing and playing guitar on a tune, "Cypress Walls," that he co-wrote with Nashville tunesmith Tommy Polk. Brad is accompanied here by bluegrass dobro master Rob Ickes. On cut seven blues vocalist Kelly Nolf helps Brad sing a blues inspired version of the classic bluegrass song "Rank Stranger." On cut nine, "Where You Belong," a song that could easily be a country classic, Brad is joined on mandolin and vocals by super session picker John Jorgenson (Elton John, Desert Rose Band, Hellecasters).On the final cut of the album, which Brad co-wrote with Gary Scruggs, Brad is joined by bluegrass banjo legend Earl Scruggs.
