Larry Davis (blues musician)
Larry Davis (December 4, 1936 – April 19, 1994) was an American electric Texas blues and soul blues musician. He is best known for co-composing the song "Texas Flood", later recorded to greater commercial success by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
==Biography==
Born in either Kansas City, Missouri or Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and raised in England, Arkansas and Little Rock, Arkansas, Davis swapped playing the drums to learn to play the bass guitar. In the mid-1950s, Davis had a working partnership with Fenton Robinson, and following the recommendation of Bobby Bland was given a recording contract by the Duke label. Davis had three singles released, which included "Texas Flood" and "Angels in Houston". Thereafter, Davis had limited opportunity in the recording studio. He resided in St. Louis, Missouri for a while, and played bass in Albert King's group.〔 He also learned conventional guitar at this time, as the original guitar playing on Davis's recording of "Texas Flood" was by Robinson.
Several single releases on the Virgo and Kent labels followed, but in 1972 a motorcycle accident temporarily paralyzed Davis' left side.〔 He returned a decade later with an album released by Rooster Blues, ''Funny Stuff'', which was produced by Oliver Sain.〔 He won four W.C. Handy Awards in 1982, yet a decade on he was known only to blues specialists.〔 His 1987 Pulsar LP, ''I Ain't Beggin' Nobody'', proved difficult even for blues enthusiasts to locate.〔
In 1992, Bullseye Blues issued another Davis offering, ''Sooner or Later'', that highlighted his booming vocals and Albert King influenced guitar work. Davis died of cancer in April 1994, at the age of 57.
