I was fortunate enough to be filling in as the vocalist for Blues
Hangover (featuring Deborah Coleman -- she's hot!) at the Carolina Blues Festival
in Greensboro last summer, and we followed Corey Harris and his band
-- they were awesome! Still, I gotta say that I like hime solo best
... definitely different from the run-of-the-mill blooze! Caribbean
rhythms, a unique feel, great playing, great voice ... they are based
out of Charlottesville, VA, I believe!

all week on the radio and it sounds like a winner.
It sure is. He really branches out on this one, but still remain deeply
rooted in the delta blues. Some songs incorporate reggae and mambo
rhythms, bits of jazz and funk and gospel, and there's also some primal,
hardcore delta stuff like "Sweet Black Angel." If you're lucky he'll be
playin' with his band. I saw 'em in New Orleans last month, and I was
entranced.--don
