David Davis (bluegrass)

Released in 2004, the album David Davis & The Warrior River Boys on Rebel Records features a wide range of rarely-covered songs.

[8] Davis partnered with occasional Warrior River Boys sideman Randall Franks, who is best known as “Officer Randy Goode” from the In the Heat of the Night (TV series), to release an Appalachian brother duet CD “God’s Children” in 2000.

They were joined by guests Sonny Shroyer from The Dukes of Hazzard, Ramblin' Tommy Scott, and Cotton and Jane Carrier.

[10] He returned to Rounder Records to create “Didn’t He Ramble: The Songs of Charlie Poole” released in 2018.

During his four decade career, many talented musicians appeared with the Warrior River Boys but in this era, besides Davis on mandolin, the lineup of the Warrior River Boys included Phillip James (fiddle), Stan Wilemon (guitar), Marty Hays (bass), and Robert Montgomery (banjo).
