James "Boo Boo" Davis (born November 4, 1943) is an American blues musician. Boo Boo is perhaps best known for being one of few remaining blues musician that got experience singing the blues based on first-hand experience in the Mississippi Delta, having sang loudly to help pass the time while picking the cotton fields.

Davis was born in Drew, Mississippi, where he was raised in the heart of Mississippi Delta. Boo Boo's passion for music started at age five when his mother would take him to church and he would play the harmonica and sing.When he was eighteen years old he began playing drums at the age of seven for the family band, Lard Can Band, because Boo Boo didn't have a drum kit and was forced to play on a lard can.

The band featured his multi-instrumental father, Sylvester Sr., his younger brother Sylvester Jr. on the guitar, and his sister Clara on vocals. The band played throughout the state of Mississippi, including a stint as the back up for B.B King, who was a complete unknown at the time.
