Larry Davis

Anyone who associates "Texas Flood" only with Stevie Ray Vaughan has never auditioned Larry Davis' version. Davis debuted on vinyl in 1958 with the song, his superlative Duke Records original remaining definitive to this day despite Vaughan's impassioned revival many years down the road.Davis was born December 4, 1936 in Kansas City, MO and grew up in Little Rock, AR, giving up the drums to play bass.
