Review:
A "cultural emissary" (Entertainment Weekly) and rising star on the world stage, Corey Harris has distilled the broad experience of his travels into the sounds on Daily Bread. Influences as varied as African finger-style acoustic guitar, Caribbean rhythms and American blues are transformed into vital and modern new music.
Daily Bread is Harris' most personal and wide-ranging album to date. Highlights include "The Sweetest Fruit" (a love song performed as an acoustic duet with Charlottesville-based violinist Morwenna Lasko), the political "The Bush Is Burning," and the Mali-esque "Mami Wata" (one of two duets with acclaimed vocalist and trumpet player Olu Dara). New Orleans pianist Henry Butler also joins Harris on five songs.
