Gail Davies - Lover Man

Although best known as a country music artist, Gail Davies has the soul and vocal prowess to perform any style of music as fans already know. Here she nails one of her favorites from the Great American Songbook. Featuring Andy Reiss on guitar and Rob Price on bass and string quartet arrangement.

I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with Gail slightly over 50 years ago. It was in the spring of 1973 in Bellingham, WA. We met through a mutual musician friend and she actually lived, for a time, at my home. At that time, she had her own band and was performing under the name (if memory serves me correctly) Trisha Gayle, (adapted from her full name: Patricia Gail Davies). "Lover Man" was right in her wheelhouse, during that period. Anyway, on April 15th, 1973 the Earl Scruggs Revue performed in Bellingham & was sponsored by the radio station where I was Program Director. Gail was quite enamored with the bass player/singer, in the Revue, Gary Scruggs ... so I took her backstage and introduced her to Gary. As irony would have it, they met up again when Gail ended up in Nashville. Gail told me later that I was "the guy who introduced her to her son's father". Her son is, of course, the amazingly talented Chris Scruggs.
Gail sang just as beautifully in the Spring of 1973 as she did when she recorded "Lover Man"! She has always been at the top of my list of female vocalists.
