Beskrivelse

Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter **D.K. Harrell**, one of the most formidable young stars of the current blues resurgence, sounds like no one else on the scene today. With his stinging, single-note string bending, deep soul vocals, and attention-grabbing original songs, the 27-year-old Harrell—a major draw at blues festivals around the world—is already in a league of his own. Now, with his Alligator Records debut album, *Talkin’ Heavy*, D.K. Harrell cements his place among the leading voices of the new generation of blues players. This Blues Music Award-winning guitarist with a soul man’s voice and a well-earned reputation as a mesmerizing live performer delivers fresh, emotion-packed blues informed by the tradition he loves and played with the foot-pounding fervor of a revival tent preacher. *Talkin’ Heavy* continually surprises with twelve instantly memorable original songs filled with Harrell’s biting guitar work and authoritative, church-born vocals. Produced by studio wizard and musician Christoffer “Kid” Andersen and recorded at Andersen’s now-famous Greaseland Studio, the album shows Harrell as a generational guitar talent with a wide-eyed vision and a street-smart singing style bringing life to the timeless songs he’s writing. He goes deep on the title track, taking a hard look at his surroundings before declaring, “the world is just heavy with the blues.” From blazing album opener *A Little Taste* to the proudly taking-care-of-business *Grown Now* to the feel-good groove of *Vibe With Me*to the foot-stomping closer *Praise These Blues*, *Talkin’ Heavy* is an affirmation of the sheer power of modern blues. ** *Talkin’ Heavy is the joyous sound of a one-man revival. Harrell’s vocals are smooth yet forceful, and his authoritative guitar work — stinging and soulful leads that serve as memorable songs within songs — hits the sweet spot every time. * *--Guitar Player * * * *Jubilantly raucous, musically adventurous, biting and exploratory…enriched by unselfconscious virtuosity…a leading light of the younger generation of the younger generation of blues artists * *--Living Blues * ** * * Scene: Klubben, Røverstaden** **Doors: 19:00** **Showstart kl. 20:00** **Aldersgrense: 20 år ** **Saloppsett: Kombo
