Kemp Harris' Edenton Getting Play Around The World!

In March this year BluePower premiered a CD by a then relatively unknown young man from New York City. Mr. Kemp Harris is now feeling the power of the internet and the new radio. His CD, Edenton, is now being played all over Europe and for very good reason....it is possibly one of the finest "real" blues recordings released in a long, long time. BluePower is very happy to help break this worthy and most credible product from a very worthy artist.

Here is a replay of that original show. Help the man out. Go to his site and purchase his record. He needs the money for plane tickets to Europe.

Below is the original blurb run on March 22, 2007.
_____________________________________________________

In a world where most people pander their wares to buyers, there occasionally comes someone who just doesn't care about convention and delivers a product so startlingly real, the markets shy away in fear.

Kemp Harris has combined traditional blues and gospel and come up with a most chilling description of the world today.

Edenton shines as a true and authentic blues work. No pretty gloss here, just the raw, crying of a man with a desperate need to be heard. And these songs should be heard. Every radio station in America should play this album, but they won't because the music will scare them and the lyrics will shock them to the core of their mediocre hearts.

This album hearkens back to a time when the blues was a reality; when folks had to say something about the discord and privation in this, the land of the free. Back to the true blues messenger. Back to the truth.
