Kemp Harris: Edonton

On Edenton, Kemp Harris’ wide range of experience comes through in a powerful and intensely personal album. The album features the legendary Holmes Brothers on backing vocals. The Brothers bring the full force of their talent, providing deep, rootsy harmonies to the raw-boned force of Harris’ lead. Kemp Harris' original songwriting and performances reflect a mature artist not content to rehash the clichés of the blues and roots genre. Harris shows his willingness to fuse diverse elements in the search for a more modern and timely blues. Edenton brings an edgier, darker hue to this traditional American music
