Records, continues a blues journey that began with his debut album Between Midnight and Day in 1995. The songs are full topical relevance, yet steeped in tradition and informed by his musical explorations over the decades. Recorded in Italy under shutdown conditions, the album returns to the solo acoustic format that's been his base since his early days as a busker in New Orleans.\\r\u003cbr\u003eGiven his gift of synthesizing many musical strands into a seamless piece of work, it's no wonder Harris has received many accolades. He's a sought-after collaborator, too. He was featured in the Scorsese film 'Feel Like Going Home' and on the now-classic 'Mermaid Avenue' albums of rediscovered Woody Guthrie songs, for which he wrote some of the music. Corey has collaborated with B.B. King, Tracy Chapman, and Dave Matthews.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIn 'Insurrection Blues' Harris brings some necessary commentary into his acoustic universe. Like many of us, he was paying attention to national events during the pandemic lockdown. And when he saw the profoundly disturbing events in Washington DC on January 6th, the path of his next album became clear. 'I felt there was a duty, a responsibility, to use the craft to say something.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eHis feelings about the insurrection made a framework for the album, whether the songs were explicitly connected or not. 'As an African American living in America, as a descendant of slaves that built this country, I am looking at the survival mechanisms that have existed for people to persevere in difficult times. And when we think about that, the blues always comes to mind.'\u003cp\u003eTwelve Gates To The City\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome Of These Days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Did You Leave Heaven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToubaka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMama Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial Rider Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSunjata\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsurrection Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoats Up River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy And By\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Gonna Quit Me Baby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfton Mountain Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat Will Never Happen No More\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScottsville Breakdown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128686068097,"sku":"1359009","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/518y4UxwI-L._SL1500.jpg?v=1766780319","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1359009","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
