There's a good reason area Bluesman Harrison Kennedy's latest CD, Soulscape (from Electro-Fi Records) recently helped him win four Hamilton Music Awards: It's just that good!
With this astounding album, Harrison has successfully fused his soulful R&B sound with the country Blues. This is Mississippi meets Motown!
The legendary musician works hard on this disc. Not only does his dynamic voice sound as great as ever but he also deftly handles banjo, mandolin, harmonica, spoons, fife, percussion and more.
With Keith 'Happy' Lindsay on keys and Alec Fraser on percussion, the band is up to the task of helping Harrison fulfill this unique sound. Justin Dunlop ably lends his bass and guitar talents to one track as well.
You can pick up this wonderful CD at his live shows, Picks N Sticks, or though the Electro-Fi website. It can also be downloaded through eMusic or iTunes.
