Description
In Harrison’s first songwriting cd he paints a landscape in which all styles of American music commingle in haunting, poetic, original ways. Musicians on Passing Train include Ben Wittman, Jamey Haddad, Henry Hey, Gary Versace, Everett Bradley, Stephan Crump, Greg Clark, Jen Chapin and more. All of these musicians draw from country, blues, gospel, jazz, New Orleans, and West African genres to create a unique sound. Harrison composed music and lyrics and sings most of the pieces.
“Harrison is onto something both innovative and compelling and deserves a much wider audience.” – Don Heckman, LA Times
“Mr. Harrison is a jazz-trained guitarist and composer, but on his new album, Passing Train, he steps into the position of a roots-haunted singer-songwriter with a knowing, yearning tone.” – Nate Chinen, NY Times
