ALSO AVAILABLE ON BLUE VINYL D.K. Harrell has become a sensation in the blues world. The Louisiana native was unknown only a couple of years ago and since then has played to great enthusiasm on festival stages all over the world, wowing crowds with the confidence and skill of a seasoned veteran. Talkin' Heavy hits a blues sweet spot in a free and invigorating new way.  It continually surprises with twelve instantly memorable original songs filled with Harrell’s biting guitar and authoritative, church-born vocals.  Produced by musician and studio wizard Christoffer "Kid" Andersen, the album reveals Harrell as a generational guitar talent with a wide-eyed vision and a street-smart singing style that bring life to his memorable original songs.

And here are a few recent press quotes:

With his gourmet phrasing and R&B hot sauce, D.K. Harrell is the blues hero you need in your life right now.
--Guitar World

I have witnessed the past, present and future of the blues and its name is D.K. Harrell. A generational talent, he feels both familiar and revolutionary [with] great songs and electric performance skills.
--Dave Popkin, WBGO-FM (NPR)

With every exuberant turn of phrase, and each sharp guitar lick, the Louisiana born showman displays a pure joy in performing that’s hard to resist. Talkin’ Heavy combines all manner of sounds in one supremely satisfying, engaging package…robust yet relaxed singing and fluid yet piercing fretwork. Ultimately, Harrell’s greatest talent is just being his own larger-than-life self.

--No Depression

The tube-cookin', Louisiana-bred guitarist brings the sizzle to Talkin' Heavy, his new album of Delta-meets-Chicago blues. Harrell makes his mark by wringing every ounce of emotion from a single note before extending the thought with the first of many lyrical, slow-burning, well-crafted guitar solos.
--Guitar World

Talkin’ Heavy is the joyous sound of a one-man revival. Harrell’s vocals are smooth yet forceful, and his authoritative guitar work — stinging and soulful leads that serve as memorable songs within songs — hits the sweet spot every time.
--Guitar Player

Striking vitality and contemporaneity….assured, straightforward singing…precise, imaginative guitar…sturdy and refreshing originals.
--DownBeat

D.K. Harrell emerges as a true talent and a cause for celebration. Original, superbly fresh and melodic songcraft and style…precise and deeply soulful guitar artistry and authentically passionate vocals. [He plays] searing and catchy blues. It’s Harrell’s show…he is the real deal. 

--Living Blues

D’Kieran Harrell is one of the best contemporary blues artists. With great musicianship and tantalizing riffs, he excels on Talkin’ Heavy. His singing is forceful and moving, but his maximum strength lies in his guitar mastery.

Harrell isn’t just a great player; he’s a natural entertainer helping to lead the next generation.
--Blues Rock Review

With Talkin’ Heavy, D.K. Harrell doesn’t just arrive, he kicks the door open and walks through it like he was born for this. Already turning heads as a guitarist with a preacher’s passion and a soul man’s voice, Harrell stakes his claim among the vanguard of the new blues generation….Talkin’ Heavy is both a love letter to the past and a bold step into the future.
