Gail Davies
Biography
Gail Davies is one of Nashville’s finest singers, songwriters, and record producers. A pioneering performer, she was the first female in country music to produce her own recordings and has been cited as a major influence by such diverse acts as Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea, Suzy Bogguss, and Pam Tillis. A gifted, multi-faceted musician with country, bluegrass and blues leanings, Gail has delighted in spreading her creative wings since she scored with her revival of Webb Pierce’s No Love Have I in 1978. She went on to produce a string of Top 10 Billboard hits, including I’ll Be There (If You Ever Want Me), It’s A Lovely, Lovely World, (a duet with Emmylou Harris) Jagged Edge of A Broken Heart, Blue Heartache, Round The Clock Lovin’ and her own self-penned singles, Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You, and Grandma’s Song. She has lectured at The Berklee College of Music in Boston, Belmont Univerity in Nashville and for ten years taught the songwriter’s workshop at the Kerrville Folk Festival.
