REVIEWS OF THE NEW MUSIC

Jeffrey Harrison strips down pop-rock for his self-titled debut. The pop wizardry of Eric Clapton is felt with some blues-rock undertones not far behind. Two musicians that definitely should be mentioned anytime Harrisons name comes are Tom Petty and Pete Yorn both of whom share his knack for good narrative, crafty pop hooks, and unique vocal styles.

Jeffrey Harrison is a singer, songwriter and producer. Jeffrey also plays guitar and keys on his self-titled debut EP. Harrison has performed and recorded with a number of bands but decided recently to work on a solo project, which includes other able musicians. Jeffrey draws from a range of influences but his sound is reminiscent of classic Tom Petty. Harrison is a storyteller, writing psychological songs from a mostly narrative point of view. He sticks to a guitar driven, melodic rock format on all five of his colorful songs. 'In The Nude' is sexy with lively instrumentation building up to the chorus. 'Reason to Live' features subtle rhythms blending with expressive guitars and vocals. 'Midnight Train' melds a slide with countrified guitars as the song moves to the catchy hook and crafty leads. Jeffrey Harrison is a distinctive artist and his music is dramatic! Recommended Tracks: (1,2,5) Laura Turner Lynch - Kweevak.com Music Magazine (Mar 8, 2006)


Jeffrey Harrison's music is guitar based rock/pop with a country tinge that reminds us of Petty and the Willburys. His songs are about longing and self discovery and his voice is an accessible tenor friend. His latest CD, "Jeffrey Harrison", is a 5-song EP that establishes his sound firmly and professionally. Background vocals are lush and full - and lyrics are pure poetry. In track 1, "In the Nude", Harrison writes, 'your looks are irrefutable but you're stoic as a mannequin'. "Reason to Live" has a Springsteen feel in a story about longing and depression. 'she's looking for a reason to live, waiting for a sign, and someone to hold onto'. Wonderful tune. Track 4, "Stranger to Myself", has Harrison touching on the country genre as he looks back on his life and realizes he's discovering who he is. The final track, "Midnight Train", paints a locomotive snare drum behind a Petty inspired approach - Harrison sings again of a woman in a similar loveless situation as in 'Reason', 'so she dreams of that midnight train, she dreams of a midnight getaway'. Tremendous pop/rock effort and we look forward to more. Don Kimenker - earBuzz.com (Dec 22, 2005)


As a solo artist, Harrisons sound has developed into an inviting balance of personality and artistry. The songs are sincere and emotional and his lyrics address issues that anyone can relate to, but Harrison also knows how to surround his stories with captivating musical accompaniment. Though the message may at times be somber, the listener never feels overwhelmed with the story but rather, floats along the narrative on a cloud of elegant instrumentation. Harrisons EP clearly displays his potential to be one of the best songwriters in the industry and has everyone who hears his music anticipating his next creation.
