Blues harmonica man Little Sammy Davis grew up in Mississippi, but traveled to Florida in the early 1950s, where he met legendary blues guitarist Earl Hooker. With Hooker, he recorded some sides for a local label, and not long afterwards, Davis found himself in Chicago, where he soaked up the influences of some of the Chicago blues giants. However, he pretty much retired from music after that, settling in Poughkeepsie, NY, and never releasing a full album until his “comeback,” 1996’s I AIN’T LYIN’. He continued performing, but didn’t record again until a 2000 album with NY blues band Midnight Slim.
