New Release Update
Blues Guitarist, Vocalist and Songwriter D.K. HARRELL
To Release TALKIN' HEAVY Album on June 20
“A leading light of the younger generation of blues artists…a jubilantly raucous,
crispy, fully realized sound enriched by unselfconscious virtuosity…musically
adventurous, biting and exploratory.” –Living Blues
On Friday, June 20, Louisiana-born blues phenomenon D.K. Harrell, will release his Alligator Records debut album, Talkin' Heavy. The guitarist, vocalist and songwriter is one of the most formidable young stars of the current blues resurgence. He sounds like no one else on the scene today. With Talkin’ Heavy, D.K. Harrell cements his place among the leading voices of the new generation of blues players. The album will be available on CD, transparent blue vinyl and at all digital service platforms.
This Blues Music Award-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter has a well-earned reputation as a mesmerizing live performer. He delivers fresh, emotion-packed blues played with the foot-pounding fervor of a revival tent preacher. With his stinging, single-note string bending, deep soul vocals, and attention-grabbing original songs, the 27-year-old Harrell—already a major draw at blues festivals around the world—is in a league of his own.
Talkin’ Heavy continually surprises with twelve instantly memorable self-penned 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 Studios, 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. Talkin’ Heavy is an affirmation of the sheer power of modern blues.
The new video for the first single from the album, Grown Now, is out now and available on YouTube. Of the song, Harrell states, "Grown Now is about remembering my days of being without. And now I'm proud and happy that I've overcome those hardships and I feel more responsible, taking care of business. And ladies love a man who takes care of business.“
