MillerItem Length: 160mmItem Height: 236mmType: StylesSubtitle: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed DavisPublisher: WW Norton & CoRelease Date: 11/12/2024Description: No one played like Jesse Ed Davis. One of the most sought-after guitarists of the late 1960s and ’70s, Davis appeared alongside the era’s greatest stars—John Lennon and Mick Jagger, B.B. King and Bob Dylan—and contributed to dozens of major releases, including numerous top-ten albums and singles, and records by artists as distinct as Johnny Cash, Taj Mahal and Cher. But Davis, whose name has nearly disappeared from the annals of rock and roll history, was more than just the most versatile session guitarist of the decade. A multitalented musician who paired bright flourishes with soulful melodies, Davis transformed our idea of what rock music could be and, crucially, who could make it. At a time when few other Indigenous artists appeared on concert stages, radio waves, or record store walls, in a century often depicted as a period of decline for Native Americans, Davis and his Kiowa, Comanche, Cheyenne, Seminole and Mvskoke relatives demonstrated new possibilities for Native people. Weaving together more than a hundred interviews with Davis’s bandmates, family members, friends and peers—among them Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and Robbie Robertson—Washita Love Child powerfully reconstructs Davis’s extraordinary life and career, taking us from his childhood in Oklahoma to his first major gig backing rockabilly star Conway Twitty, and from his dramatic performance at George Harrison’s 1971 Concert for Bangladesh to his years with John Trudell and the Grafitti Man band. In Davis’s story, a post-Beatles Lennon especially emerges as a kindred soul and creative partner. Yet Davis never fully recovered from Lennon’s sudden passing, meeting his own tragic demise just eight years later. With a foreword by former poet laureate Joy Harjo, who collaborated with Davis near the end of his life, Washita Love Child thoroughly and finally restores the “red dirt boogie brother” to his rightful place in rock history, cementing his legacy for generations to come.Country/Region of Manufacture: USItem Width: 33mmItem Weight: 630gContributor: Joy Harjo (Foreword by)Genre: Music Dance & TheatreTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
