Notes: Born in Denver, Colorado, Corey Harris became a professional musician in New Orleans after attending college, conducting postgraduate anthropological research in West Africa and teaching French. The historical awareness of his debut CD has continued to inform his music, even as it has become increasingly original, and increasingly driven by a sense of the unity in diversity of black musics and cultures. His brings an acute intelligence to both words and music, and seems able to incorporate any influence that appeals to him, while never parading eclecticism or virtuosity for their own sake. If the blues needs someone to be the future of the blues, Corey Harris is probably the one.
Recorded in six hours, this album consists mostly of songs from the 78-rpm era; Fred McDowell is as up to date as the covers get, and the three originals are pastiches of bygone Delta blues styles. Harris's powerful baritone commands immediate attention, and he had already acquired an impressive mastery of a range of guitar styles. For one so young, coming to this music as an outsider by geography, history and social class, album is remarkably succesful, but it does present a musician finding his way into the idiom. Sometimes Harris doesn't know how to make the songs his own, and his attempts to do so by emotional 'force majeure' seem imposed and arbitrary; two covers of Muddy Waters suffer particularlyin respect. For all its merits, 'Between Midnight And Day' is valuable chiefly as hint at future possibilities.

Notes: This impressive album assures that New Orleans music will live strong and healthy into the next generation. A collaboration between a couple of once upstarts, now stalwarts of the new roots-music generation, this is good-time music. Corey Harris plays slide-steel guitar and about 90 other styles, slipping his strings between the 88 piano keys that Henry Butler dances across. On the collaborative tracks, which make up most of the album, their two instruments leave no room for others. They're tight as yarn, weaving together like a Mardi Gras Indian headdress. Each also makes solo performances. They've been compared to great partnerships like Tampa Red and Georgia Tom, but this suggests too much of a historical sound; Harris and Butler are thoroughly modern. Comparing them to Professor Longhair and Snooks Eaglin is accurate in spirit, but Vü-Dü Menz is so fun, no background is needed to enjoy it; even Martians would shake their hips to this much swing. ~ Robert Gordon
