"Harris' moral convictions are of a piece with his music. Several of the songs he chose for revival signify the perseverance of oppressed African Americans. The linchpin giving the album its title, the Saharan-drone original "Insurrection Blues," stands tall as his forceful response to the Washington D.C. mayhem of early 2021. He wants America to smarten up and get its house in order".
