About Walter Davis Blues
- Walter Davis (March 1, 1911 or 1912 – October 22, 1963) was an African-American blues singer, pianist, and songwriter who was one of the most prolific blues recording artists from the early 1930s to the early 1950s. Davis had a rich singing voice that was as expressive as the best of the Delta blues vocalists.
- His best-known recording, a version of the train blues standard "Sunnyland Blues", released in 1931, is more notable for the warmth and poignancy of his singing than for his piano playing.
- His best-known songs included "Come Back Baby", "Ashes in My Whiskey" and "Blue Blues".
- Davis was sometimes billed as "Hooker Joe".He was unrelated to the jazz pianist Walter Davis, Jr.
