Davis Coen plays at 9 pm on Thursday, October 6
These Things Shall Pass is the tenth full-album release from musician Davis Coen, and fulfills his long-standing goal of recording an entire spiritual-based album. The album nods to a wide range of classic song selections, spanning from time-tested traditional American hymns, such as “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” and “Old Rugged Cross,” to classic gospel radio cuts as Willie Banks & The Messengers’ “Working For Jesus,” and the title cut, Stuart Hamblen’s “These Things Shall Pass.” The album also has six original songs, including light-hearted duets with former Billy Joe Shaver guitarist Patrick McClary from Jackson.
Coen’s recordings are strongly rooted in Blues, Country, and Religious music. He characterizes his style as contemporary Country Blues, a modern culmination of the hodgepodge of musical influences absorbed from living in the Mid-Southern U.S. and continual touring.
