“Run Rudy Run by Kodac Harrison (4:34 min.)
Kodac Harrison is an Atlanta-based singer/songwriter and spoken-word artist with some prior roots in West Virginia. At one time, he lived here in a community with “Mountain Stage” Band members Ammed Solomon, Steve Hill and others and has recorded with them, Julie Adams, Steve Payne and other area performers. He has a new CD out, “Dreams and Nightmares,” from which we sample a song. In a piece titled “Poets, Writers and Madmen,” an Atlanta writer describes Harrison this way: “Local beatnik bluesman Kodac Harrison sure is a Renaissance kinda guy. Whether he’s performing spoken-word poetry, grooving with his band, or doing the singer-songwriter thing, he has a totally compelling style. Harrison is one of Atlanta’s most creative and inspiring musicians.”
