This Memphis singer/songwriter gets his inspiration from road trips and camp fires. He'll be playing at Underberg House Concerts at 7 p.m. Friday. Listen to a few songs from his new album, "Campfire Songs" here.
You can call 334-7692 for reservations to the show.
"Tennessee" was written while he was on a USO tour in Germany. It's a homesick song with a forlorn guitar and a fiddle for good measure. (Guitar/vocals: Jimmy Davis, Fiddle: Tommy Burroughs, PIano: Jim Dickinson)
After that will be "Watchin the Fire Burn Down." It captures the campfire experience of any country or even weekend country teenager who used to pile in a truck and head out to a field on a Saturday night. (Drums: Harry Peel, Upright Bass: David Cochran, Acoustic and electric guitars: Jimmy Davis, Bariton electric guitar: Jack Holder, Background vocals: Jimmy Davis, Tommy Burroughs and Laura Burroughs)
