Jackhammer Soul
Jesse Sterling Harrison is a musical innovator and his latest album, "Jackhammer Soul," a combination of rock, Southern soul, jazz, and folk, is proof.
Harrison's creativity and passion for music shines through on every track of this amazing album. As both a guitar player and a song writer, Harrison's music is very personal and, after you finish listening to "Jackhammer Soul," there is no denying the connection you feel between the artist and his music.
The song lyrics are often comprised of witty one-liners and ironic play on words that range from topics such as politics and war to everyday life and love. Harrison's lyrics are complemented by the melodic melodies and mellow rhythm of his music and the rough sound of his voice is musical harmony at its best.
The composition of Harrison's music suggests a deeper understanding of the musical world than most contemporary artists. Harrison, who lives in the Northampton area, took major risks to create this album combining some of the best elements of musical genres.
Harrison understands that being an artist is more than just playing music; it's about taking chances to create something new and exciting.
