Gypsy Dave Smith - Police dog Blues

An Austrailian veteran of the dobro blues guitar,who left Austrailia for the life of Robert Johnson in his 20's, with a 1933 dobro earned from the soul.

His amazingly authentic picking style recalls the hard travellin' days of Blind Lemon Jefferson and Mississippi John Hurt in every note and timbre, and steered his journey half way around the world from Newcastle Australia to find his soul mate, family and musical home in Newcastle UK.

Now a regular on many Europian festivals regular vistor to the Tartan Heart Festival and musician in residence at the Jazz Cafe in Newcastle Most tues night's, Musician and character of renown in many other venues around the city and around the rest of the Blues cummunity of the UK.

"Gypsy Dave like John Hammond has been playing the Blues so much that it has become second nature and unforced. The guy is still growing rather than plowing himself in to a rut"
Billy Htchinson Team Writer
"Blues Matters" magazine UK.

Terrific blues music at its best from a guy who is the essense of the roots sound, here performing a version of the Blind blake song.
Taken from "A Blues Night at the Castle keep" which can be seen in full on Google Video.
