5.0 out of 5 stars
An absolute gem!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greens From the Garden (Audio CD)
I've never written a review before, but I'm moved to in this case because I love this album! Since some people seem to be grumbling about it not being "pure" blues, and are put-off by it's eclecticism, I just want to say that these are the very reasons I find this so engaging. I consider myself so very lucky to have stumbed across it from my own growingly diverse tastes. This album becomes more comfortable and precious every time I listen to it -- a tour through a musician's heart. It has a warm feeling of home - which I think is very much intended. Thank you Corey Harris for making this beauty. I love the variety and the pace. I want more like it.

Making music that pushes the envelope,,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greens From the Garden (Audio CD)
Corey Harris has two excellent Cds before this one on which he plays incredible blues songs. There was no need for him to make yet another, and if he had I would have thought it a sign of artistic stagnation and lack of inspiration. What you get on this recording is a movement forward, into the living, breathing depth of the music. It is in many ways an exploration of the great similarity of spirit that binds ragtime, blues, folk, jazz, and reggae music together. The CD is best, in my opinion, as a whole. Each song, and each interlocking spoken segment bewteen them, compliments and feeds off of each other. I applaud Harris' move forward, and for his great ability to push the limits of what must be the most limiting of genres.

It's alive--going to the top of our CD shelf.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greens From the Garden (Audio CD)
A delicious combination of sounds, a bluesy heart pumping into arteries of a variety of genres, but focusing on its eclecticism misses the point. Mr. Harris delivers life. Hey, it's more than just greens--I can taste bits of cilantro, arugula, and squash flowers as well.I have earlier Corey Harris tracks, but to be fair, I had heard "Eh La Bas" before picking this one up, so I knew it was going to be more than the usual ride. Mr. Harris has captured, well, joy (which makes sense, coming from a blues artist). Gets high ratings from our adolescent contingent here, too, despite the lack of video presence on MTV.
