Release Notes:

Jesse Harris writes pensive and catchy pop songs the
way some people dash off grocery lists. But on the
three albums he has released since his tune "Don't
Know Why" became Norah Jones' introductory smash,
he's struggled to deliver them convincingly. He's
squandered sturdy material on overwrought singing,
or by awkwardly pumping slight songs into rock
anthems. No such trouble is evident on Mineral, a
collection of musings on relationships that is
easily Harris' best work. Here the
guitarist-songwriter seeks stark simplicity: Helped
by drummer Kenny Wollesen and organist Larry
Goldings, Harris cultivates a daydreamy atmosphere
that lingers from one song to the next. There's
little electric guitar, and the transparency of the
sound totally changes the way Harris sings -- it
softens his sometimes strident vocal tone and
encourages him to phrase in shrugs rather than
declarative shouts. A few minutes with sullen future
standards such as "Slow Down" and "Somewhere Down
the Road," and it becomes clear that this
spaciousness is the X factor Harris' songs have been
missing.
