JAM 66 RADIO BRINGS YOU THE NEWEST ROCK, BLUES AND BLUES ROCK!
The Davidson Trio is a hard rocking power trio based in Birmingham and the West Midlands in the UK.
The band is led by Owen Davidon, the bass playing and 5 octave vocalist (formerly with Uli Jon Roth & Rumour).
Guitarist Ben Bicknell was Davidson’s fellow band member in the Glenn Hughes tribute called Black Country Community, while the band is powered by exciting new discovery Ellis Brown on drums.
The band’s debut recording ‘Cougar’, is an old school album given a contemporary makeover, with cracking songs, seamless interplay, bursting solos and Davidson soulful vocals.
*It has already hit #7 on the getreadytorockradio.com weekly chart, and #28 on the IBBA blues chart.
As Owen explains: "This album is a return to my rock-blues and funk roots. I was always into guitarists like Jeff Beck, while in my early career I supported Trapeze, and I always liked the idea of a power trio.
I also was influenced by bass players like Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten and of course Glenn Hughes.
So having met Ben and Ellis, I wanted to write the best possible songs in a power trio format.
I'd like to think that with this album we have achieved that."
'Cougar' is a powerhouse rock blues album with sharp riffs, booming solos and catchy hooks.

"Pike County Coal" is a poignant blend of country and blues that captures the heart-wrenching story of a man reflecting on a life spent in the coal mines. As he faces the weight of grief after losing his wife and watching his children grow and move on. He now finds himself buried in the struggles of his past as well as that very mine.
