Davin's music is more "black water" than "red dirt". That's probably because he grew up watching his father play guitar on lake banks in North Louisiana and South Arkansas. He came to Texas in 1978, at age 13. He was prompted to play guitar by his father with a $100 bribe. He got his first electric guitar with that money. Through the 80's, he played honky-tonks, covering Hank Jr. and Lynyrd Synyrd as well as top 40 country songs. His '95 recording debut caught the attention of Gary P. Nunn. Gary's "Roadtrip" CD included four of Davin's original songs. With a little credibility, Davin started running with other notable songwriter/entertainers such as; Larry Joe Taylor, Tommy Alverson, and Brian Burns and Jesse Dayton. "We helped the Texas Music scene get kick started from a dead 80's market, says Davin". Davin has had his songs recorded by many of those song-writing buddies. He has landed songs in movies, TV, and advertising campaigns. He has also sang jingles, played, and produced many other projects. 15 years later, Davin has 7 CD's under his belt. He plays over 100 shows a year. The shows range from solo acoustic to full band. Davin is also known for hosting a songwriter show in Old Town Spring, Texas, every Wednesday night, 10 years running!

The album Magnolia is an excellent purchase. The tunes will have you coming back for more. I am eager to make one of his shows. Hopefully, at Gruene Hall!

YOU should ask, what makes a CD a great CD? I'll tell you it starts with a one-of-a-kind artist who writes honest and heartfelt lyrics, and sings them to original and inspired melodies. Melodies that are played by versatile, multi-dimensional musicians. A great CD creates feelings and stirs emotions through its content and use of dynamics, all the while possessing natural ebb-and-flow. It is an important listen that takes on an up-and-coming genre and turns it on its ear. It's not confined to the borders of this great state...it's much bigger. But if it's born and bread here...all the better---right? DAVIN JAMES' latest, 'MAGNOLIA' is that great CD...and when you go see him, you should thank him...Sound good?

Great songwriting...full of emotion. One of the original New Texas Music artists and, quite frankly, one of the best! Larger than Life to be sure.
