I Smell A Rat
Davenport, Lester 'mad Dog'
His only studio CD, until now, appeared in 1991 on the 'Earwig' label. Davenport is a soulful blues singer from Chicago's west side, and a solid but not outstanding harp player. Anyhow, this is a beautiful album, especially thanks to the support and co-operation of Davenport's westside buddy, Jimmy Dawkins who produced and also played. This ain't no sensational release; but it's one that lovers of well-performed Chicago style blues will appreciate. LESTER DAVENPORT - hca/voc, JIMMY DAWKINS - gtr, BILLY FLYNN - gtr, DETROIT JR. - pno, BOB STROGER - bass, JIMI SCHUTTE - drums.
I Smell A Rat is the product of a friendship that developed more than three decades ago between two men who, although they grew up near the same Mississippi Delta town of Tchula, never met until they began living in Chicago. Lester Davenport (vocals and harmonica) and Jimmy Dawkins (guitar and producer) are united professionally after years of running around the city's West Side. Drop in I Smell A Rat, Lester Davenport's vibrant, rocking West Side neighborhood for awhile. It's a magical place where blues giants like Jimmy Dawkins, Bob Stroger, Detroit Jr. - and the "Mad Dog" himself - still roam. Twelve originals, seventy minutes of West Side Chicago blues.
