"Insurrection Blues" by acclaimed blues singer and artist Corey Harris. This marks Corey's 1st release in over 3 years. "Insurrection Blues," is Corey Harris' 20th album overall and first for M.C. 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. Given 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. In "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." His 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."

13. You Gotta Move (Feat. Lucky Peterson, Corey Harris & Jean-Jacques Milteau) (4:56)

Like some giants of the Blues, this pure product from Chicago has made things big and good, just to leave his mark on the blues year 2006: a beautiful cover BD style, thirteen titles for almost 70 minutes zik full speakers, and a bunch of talented guests including Jean Jacques Milteau, Martha High, Corey Harris, Lucky Peterson, Fred Wesley and others whose name will grow over the coming months, like the great Mike Armoogum on the bass, where the dazzling Hervé Samb on six strings.

Faithful to his wild fishing and exceptional showman side, Boney Fields fires your turn with titles that smack of funky blues and soul, like Get up and stand out, Never fall on your face, and of course I wanna get funky. The brass makes you pitch, in perfect harmony with the Boney singer and trumpet-maestro, training you in a blues overflowing with energy (positive) and joy (to live). Notable, the excellent We play the Blues (stamped Boney Fields), the punchy Your good thing is about to run out, signed Lucky Peterson / Jim Payne, with Lucky Peterson himself on guitar solo, and the slow steam of this galette Do not let it get you down, on which Boney will make you shiver in his crooner's voice; Guaranteed emotion if you can climb a little the sound, the night fell, with these gleaming brass and a superb Jerry Leonide keyboards. But the title that closes the album is for me THE title of this super CD, the version not to be missed of this standard that is got to move, and on which, excuse the master of the place, you find in his company Lucky Peterson, Corey Harris and Jean Jacques Milteau.

A title interpreted by a quartet of hell that alone is worth the immediate purchase of this album, one of the essentials of this mid-year. ~Frankie Bluesy Pfeiffer

In the argot of American popular music, the word "horn" is used for any wind instrument, most often the saxophone, but it is also applied to all woodwinds and brasses, especially those played by soloists. In this context "horn section" refers to a group of wind and brass instrumentalists — usually comprising saxophone, trumpet and trombone players; sometime singularly, and sometimes in pairs or more of each instrument. The horn section usually has written parts which are prepared by an arranger using orchestration to provide a harmonic and melodic accompaniment to a song or musical group. In some cases, the horn section may improvise a simple backing part using well-known "stock" lines.

Horn sections are an integral part of musical genres such as jazz, R&B, blues, funk, calypso, ska, soul music and gospel music. Most of these horn sections feature some combination of saxophones, trumpets and trombones. More rarely, other wind or brass instruments such as flute, clarinet or tuba may be added. Other popular musical genres, such as rock and pop, also use horn sections.

Corey Harris is a guitarist, songwriter, and performer who is leading a contemporary revival of country blues with a fresh, modern hand. He is a powerful and compelling singer and an accomplished guitarist whose musical artistry is complemented by serious explorations of the historical and cultural conditions that gave rise to the blues. Corey Harris was born in Denver, Colorado to parents from Texas and Kentucky, he has carved out his own niche in Blues appearing at venues throughout the world. He began his career as a New Orleans street singer, travelling throughout the southern U.S. In his early twenties he lived in Cameroon, West Africa for a year, which had a profound effect on his later work. He has recorded many old songs of the blues tradition while also creating an original vision of the blues by adding influences from reggae, soul, rock and West African music. His 1995 recording, Between Midnight and Day, is a tribute to the tradition of acoustic blues. Subsequent recordings, such as Greens From the Garden (1999), Mississippi to Mali (2003), and Daily Bread (2005) show Harris' maturation from interpreter to songwriter. Some of his imaginative compositions are marked by a deliberate eclecticism; other works stay true to the traditional blues formula of compelling vocals and down-home guitar. With one foot in tradition and the other in contemporary experimentation, Harris is a truly unique voice in contemporary music, well on his way to becoming the alchemist of black music, recombining its constituent elements into new and powerful substances. He has performed, recorded, and toured with many of the top names in music such as BB King, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, R.L.Burnside, Ali Farka Touré, Dave Matthews Band, Tracy Chapman, Wilco, Natalie Merchant, and others. Harris was a featured artist and narrator of the Martin Scorsese film, ""Feel Like Going Home,"" which traced the evolution of Blues from West Africa to the southern U.S.

If American music is unique, it is largely due to its bedrock foundation of blues and gospel music, two forms of music that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century. Anchoring the sounds of African America, these styles underlay the musical innovations of the century: jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, soul and hip hop. They are known and cherished around the world and in every corner of the U.S. It would be impossible to imagine American music without them. ~Charles McGovern

This collaboration is the first full-length release from like-minded bluesmen guitarist Corey Harris and pianist Henry Butler. Although they had previously played together on live dates, the only other time they appear on CD is on Harris' Greens From the Garden. These 15 tracks cover more ground than the mere term "blues" implies. The duo recalls not only the best of traditional piano/guitar music of the '20s and '30s, but also New Orleans soul, barrelhouse, ragtime, and Delta blues. To their credit, Harris and Butler have the ability to bring these traditions into a modern context while retaining the soul that some modern blues recordings lack. Not only are duet settings heard but a few solo spots are featured. The playing is phenomenal, which shouldn't overshadow the emotional vocal performances, including the a cappella gospel on "Why Don't You Live So God Can Use You?" that closes out this highly recommended disc. ~Al Campbell

Swamp Blues, the looser, more rhythmic variation of the standard Louisiana sound, also brings more contemporary elements of New Orleans, zydeco, soul music, and Cajun to bear on its style. The guitar work is simple but effective, and is heavily influenced by the boogie patterns used on Jimmy Reed records, with liberal doses of Lightnin' Hopkins and Muddy Waters. Unlike the heavy backbeat of the more popular urban styles, its rhythm can be best described as laid-back, making even its most uptempo offerings share the same mood and ambience of the most desultory of slow blues.
