Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir

Songwriter Patrick Davis pays tribute to his father, gifted guitarist Rusty Davis, on his latest album, ‘Carolina When I Die.’ Here Davis recasts himself as a six-string slinging, storytelling Southern troubadour, much like his dad. Written alongside longtime Jason Isbell guitarist Sadler Vaden, the LP sounds and feels rooted in 1970s soul, with tunes steeped in Davis’ influences including Ray Charles, Jackson Browne and the big-band bombast and celebratory sprawl of Joe Cocker.
