D.K. Harrell at The Triple Door

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
Jubilantly raucous, musically adventurous, biting and exploratory…enriched by unselfconscious virtuosity…a leading light of the younger generation of the younger generation of blues artists
--Living Blues
D.K. Harrell is a fast-rising blues dynamo…One of the most talented and exciting young blues artists to emerge in decades.
