Available Recordings (for ordering see link below) Dreams and Nightmares (CD only) Released on September 14th, 2007
I've been listening to Dreams and Nightmares regularly for
a couple of weeks now. The title is appropo. Lots of deep songs, some
dark and some light. (That first combo of “Rubber and Canvas” going into
“Run Rudy Run” is an emotional gut punch!) I still love your mixture of
spoken word and song, just like on your Portraits and Passages...
Portraits & Passages (CD only) Released in April 19th
2003 While too many of his peers, longtime veterans of the scene, have given up or stay content to go through the same familiar motions they always have, Kodac Harrison keeps finding new, unconventional avenues to get his art across. He has a new disc out, "Portraits and Passages." It's a mix of spoken word pieces and songs, and probably his best yet. Not just 'cause he's getting better at adding new twists to his early '70s Van Morrison/bar band soul presentation, or his plainspoken delivery, or the simple details he sticks in his beat-poetry lyrics, but because the material just hits me a little more personally this time. Jeff Clark Stomp and Stammer, May 2003 Though his work is often compared to Tom Waits for its smokey, late-night vibe, this is a bit of an oversimplification. In fact in many ways, this record (his first since 1999's In Search of the Blue Groove, and perhaps his most impressive to date), functions well as a sort of career overview for the songwriter. All of his guises are present in its poems and songs.

Kodac Harrison in
Concert (CD only
In Search of the Blue
Groove (CD only) "...a
[Savannah] CD release party for Harrison's newest - and
by far best - CD, In Search
of the Blue Groove. Long
influenced by the primarily verbal Tom Waits/Bob Dylan
school of music, with "Blue Groove" Harrison
makes his debut as a full-fledged orchestrator and
musician. While his attention to verbal detail is still
as sharp as ever. "Blue Groove" - as it's title
hints - is his first true rock 'n roll recording."
[he's not award of the 80's albums] In Search of the Blue Groove combines spoken word pieces from the gruff-voiced poet alongside soulful songs that suggest a meeting of Van Morrison and early Tom Waits. Jeff Clark Stomp and Stammer, Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 1999 "...think
a less weird Tom Waits or a more emotive Leonard
Cohen..." "...on
spoken word pieces...his emotionally expressive, gravely
voice grabs hold on soliloquies that are nothing less
than riveting." "In the
realm between words and music, he's found a gold mine,
and from it, Harrison has extracted his latest CD, In
Search of the Blue Groove." In addition to order this CD below, you can go to http://www.pastestore.com/product/1278 You can use a credit card at this site.
