More evidence that it's what's lurking beneath the radar that's really
important, Brady Harris - following the familiar career trajectory of
starving busker (in London and Paris), accidental recordings, critical
acclaim (not the least of which came at the NxNW conference in '99)
impressive underground success ($5000 from MP3.com) and still no major
label deal - has just released his third album, recorded at home with
the assistance of a $500 Shure microphone he won for his roots-grass
version of Motorhead's 'Ace Of Spades'. Intrigued? Good, for mere words
can never do him justice. Ignore, then, the fact that Harris' voice bears
comparisons with John Lennon; ignore the fact that he creates a beguiling
brand of alt. power country pop, something like Peter Bruntnell massaging
Big Star; ignore the fact that Harris can take on Joe Pernice in his own
back yard and win. Ignore these words, let your ears do the judging, and
you're left wondering where this California-dwelling Texan has been hiding
all your life.
