corey harris certified genius



Corey Harris, certified genius!

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
