American tour, Davy enthralled and delighted his Isle of Man
fans.
Enjoy the exceptional talents of Davy
Knowles and Back Door Slam, plus DVD-exclusive bonus

"The capitals of the blues are deeply etched in music lore. Every devotee can
plot the historical points on the map, from Buddy Guy’s birthplace in
Lettsworth, Louisiana, to BB King’s, in Itta Bena, Mississippi. The new name on
that roll of honour is a geographical - indeed, a musical -
phenomenon: Davy Knowles has reshaped the Delta to include the Isle of
Man. History has not previously recorded a bluesman who woke up this mornin’ in
Douglas, by the Irish Sea, but Knowles, 22, has emerged from there to stake a
credible place on the US circuit, locking down a reputation as a guitar
prodigy. Coming up for Air, his second album with his band Back Door
Slam (named for a Robert Cray song), climbed to No 2 on Billboard’s blues chart
in the summer. The first-ever production - apart from his own work - by Peter
Frampton, himself once a young sensation in a far-off pop incarnation, the
record has been rubbing shoulders with Buddy and BB, and younger contemporaries
such as Joe Bonamassa and Derek Trucks. Knowles’s robust but honeyed
playing and his gravelled vocals are succeeding in selling one of
America’s oldest music forms back whence it came" Paul Sexton, The Sunday
Times
