COREY HARRIS FISH AIN’T BITIN’

Recorded October 19 & 21, 1996 and mixed December 20 & 21, 1996 at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, LA

Format: :Flac



FISH AIN'T BITIN' finds Harris moving into uncharted waters. The addition of a New Orleans-style horn section (two trombones and a tuba) and a percussionist provide striking contrast to the acoustic-based approach of Harris's debut, and complement his country blues fingerpicking perfectly. While a traditional Delta flavor is maintained throughout, the cuts where Harris is joined by the horns create a new paradigm that's solidly roots-minded but still wholly original. Instead of sounding like a self-conscious addition, the horns mesh with the guitar, sharing phrases and providing organic counterpoint.

Percussionist Harry "Point Man" M. Dennis, Jr. rounds out the sound nicely with his minimalist approach to timekeeping--he often sounds like he's just tapping along on a piece of metal or wood. Like any bluesman worth his salt, Harris has got religion too, as evidenced by intense readings of Mississippi Fred McDowell's "You Got to Move" and Son House's classic "Preaching Blues." The perfect mix of traditionalism and innovation, FISH AIN'T BITIN' is one of the finest acoustic blues albums of the '90s.
