Ten days ago, I pointed y’all to a couple of free MP3s from Corey Harris, neo-traditional blues artist.
Well, Mr. Harris is in the news, because yesterday he was named a MacArthur Fellow. That means he’ll receive a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation – $500,000 over the next five years, “no strings attached.”
Congratulations, Corey Harris!
(Here are all 24 of this year’s MacArthur Fellows.)
Let me celebrate by streaming a track off his new reggae CD, “Zion Crossroads.” (Downloadable from iTunes.) Click here to check out “Heathen Rage.”

i've really slacked off on following his career over the past couple of years, but i liked his early work a great deal.
