Anne Harris’ new single 'Over' was written for her by Markus James, with whom she began collaborating a few years ago. It is the first publicly released song born of this collaboration. These two visionary Blues/American Roots artists have created an intriguing sound that, while rooted in acoustic blues, folk, and old-time traditions, reaches far beyond and into the future to encompass a unique view of what happens when those foundational influences mingle without boundaries in a postmodern world of cultural cross-pollination.
