Give in Kind

The album was produced by John Platania. Davis did not spend a lot of time on song selection, choosing what he liked, what others liked, and what was already worked out. Ken Whiteley contributed on mandolin. "What You Doin'" is a cover of the Sleepy John Estes song. "Good Liquor" is a cover the Big Bill Broonzy song. "I Will Be Your Friend" is a tribute to the Scottish musician Davy Steele, who died in 2001. ==Critical reception==

Robert Christgau called the album "country blues in the spirit of friendship, like John Hurt did it." The Gazette determined that "Davis recalls the days when jug bands ruled Memphis's Beale St.," writing that his original songs "preserve and carry forward the tradition." The Birmingham Post opined that Davis "has an inbuilt empathy with the music, without any of the vaudeville hokum of Keb' Mo' or the sophisticated gloss of Eric Bibb." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution concluded that "his previous albums have sometimes been weighed down by an artificial vocal gruffness... Now he has found his voice." AllMusic wrote that "he's listened hard to classic Delta blues and based his style on it, without ever becoming a carbon copy of the greats." ==Track listing==
