. Due November 20th, the announcement arrives with the brooding title track, an ominous piano ballad in which Davis questions why the deck is stacked against him.Written by Davis with Jinks and Tennessee Jet during what the singer-songwriter calls a “dark chapter of my life,” “Black Cats and Crows” became therapy for Davis, who describes a cathartic recording session. “I remember the day we tracked it was the first time in a long time I’d felt anything good while I was singing.
“This album took my whole life to make, pushing 41 years. I had to live and live and live before I even understood what these songs meant, or why I wrote them in the first place,” Davis says.
