Here's what folks are saying...
"...Last week, I'll Keep Calling was sitting at No. 8 on the Roots Music Report's "Top 50 True Country" radio chart. As of Monday, it had moved up to No. 1 — ahead of folks like Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, Glenn Campbell and The Louvin Brothers. And it came out less than two months ago. "I'm not really sure what it all means," Harris says, laughing....clearly, something's happening. If the early reaction to I'll Keep Calling is any indication, Harris is well on his way to a fruitful honky-tonk career in the vein of hard-touring mainstays like Dale Watson and Wayne Hancock..."
-Jack Silverman, the Nashville Scene

"From the opening song, "Bright Lights and Country Music"—one of several covers played over the course of two sets, joining originals from the band's recent debut album, I'll Keep Calling—it was apparent that none of that newfangled alt-country stuff would be emanating from the stage: Harris is armed with a rich voice built for classic Nashville country music, and that's exactly what the tight band—featuring a killer lead guitar player—played over the course of the next two hours."
-Stephen Seigel, Tucson Weekly

"Fresh air for my honky-tonk soul....J.P. has the courage to ignore pop trends and rely on great execution of the classic country forms and themes. Straight-up country--wonderful stuff! "
-Obie, KNON, Dallas, Texas

"Good honest country music!! Hopefully this recording will influence a young audience to realize the value of what true country music can do for the soul !! The boy has TALENT.....I can feel it !!"
-Billy Bratcher, Starline Rhythm Boys, Burlington, Vermont

"This is an artist whose originals are so perfect they are interchangeable with his covers."
-Luke Z. Fenchel, Ithaca.com

"Harris doesn’t just have a distinctive and authentic vocal style, but he wrote all 12 songs, and every last one, from barroom weepers to gear-jammin’ ballads...is a keeper. Cow Island says, “In JP Harris, we think we’ve found one of the leaders of the next generation of hardcore country music singers… ,” but I’d say there’s no “think” about it. Harris is the real deal."
-John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music
