Harris, Corey – Zion Crossroads Reviewed by Sadie O., 7/24/07 Very rootsy and well done Reggae – I was a bit shocked to recall that Harris hasn’t been a Reggae artist, but a bluesman with a longstanding interest in African music. Most tracks have a very classic roots feel to them. He’s clearly done a lot of research. Many of the lyrics are quite simple and straightforward, although not all the subjects are so basic. No FCCs detected. I like the French track, 9 – but most of the tracks are really good. 1. ***relaxed midtempo bubble, classic roots Reggae sound. Sounds a bit like early Culture – very nice. 2. ***midtempo bouncy bubble, rather simple lyrics but very cool music. Great classic toast by Ranking Joe. 3. *midtempo skank, almost Lover’s Rock in tone. Sweet singing, kind of belies the lyrics. 4. ***downtempo skank, rather minimalist, strong lyrics and subject. 5. ***classic roots bubble, wonderful sound. Rasta simplicity lyrics. Bit of blues guitar. 6. ***uptempo bubble, cool keyboard sound. Blues guitar solo. 7. *pretty bit of thumb piano and African language chanting. 8. **somewhat uptempo bubble. Simple lyrics. Bit of thumb piano 9. ****uptempo skank, lyrics in French. Very much in the style of African Reggae like Tiken Jah Fakoly. Simple and nice. 10. ***starts with 10 seconds of very low level percussion. Midtempo skank, sweet singing, mostly repeating the old aphorism about cleanliness. 11. **uptempo, folk acoustic guitar and vocals, bit of violin, not Reggae but a pretty cool sound and strong lyrics. 12. *midtempo bubble, sweet. Sax solo. 13. ***gospel flavor, long intro. Uptempo skank, Rock Steady. | ||
