Jeffrey Harrison strips down pop-rock for his self-titled debut. The pop wizardry of Eric Clapton is felt with some blues-rock undertones not far behind. Two musicians that definitely should be mentioned anytime Harrison’s name comes are Tom Petty and Pete Yorn both of whom share his knack for good narrative, crafty pop hooks, and unique vocal styles.

Jeffrey Harrison's music is guitar based rock/pop with a country tinge that reminds us of Petty and the Willburys. His songs are about longing and self discovery and his voice is an accessible tenor friend. His latest CD, "Jeffrey Harrison", is a 5-song EP that establishes his sound firmly and professionally. Background vocals are lush and full - and lyrics are pure poetry. In track 1, "In the Nude", Harrison writes, 'your looks are irrefutable but you're stoic as a mannequin'. "Reason to Live" has a Springsteen feel in a story about longing and depression. 'she's looking for a reason to live, waiting for a sign, and someone to hold onto'. Wonderful tune. Track 4, "Stranger to Myself", has Harrison touching on the country genre as he looks back on his life and realizes he's discovering who he is. The final track, "Midnight Train", paints a locomotive snare drum behind a Petty inspired approach - Harrison sings again of a woman in a similar loveless situation as in 'Reason', 'so she dreams of that midnight train, she dreams of a midnight getaway'. Tremendous pop/rock effort and we look forward to more.
