ERIC HARRISON – Down, Down, Down (feat. Rachel Potter) [Global Texan Chronicles, 2/11/21]

The 2020 album ‘Gratitude‘ from Fanwood, New Jersey’s Eric Harrison is one that nearly got away. A 10-track set that sonically spans several eras of singer-songwriter rock n roll. Hints throughout of Tom Petty, The Smithereens, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and beyond, all of the songs here work as meditative vignettes often inspired by the zeitgeist and all are deeply rooted. A brilliant album chockfull of personal and deep-rooted Americana.

Eric Harrison Releases New Single 'A Home Is Not A Hologram'

Vents Magazine, 6/4/20

A Home Is Not A Hologram, the second single from Gratitude, is a lush, string-drenched acoustic ode to home and hearth:

 

A home is not a hologram

We’ve got steel and wood and wire to forge a life out of tears and fire
Something real is always worth a fight
And a hologram is just a trick of light

Harrison’s dulcet voice, smooth and easy-to-listen-to, infuses the lyrics with tantalizing wisps of melancholy and nostalgia, as Adrian searches for her misplaced appetite for life.
