While the native Louisianian has established himself as a fixture of the East Nashville scene these days, Harrison still wears his Cajun heritage proudly on his sleeve, as the album takes its name from the small town where he was born and raised. The title track is a country/western tall tale about a “Titan of Tioga” — written from a first-person perspective — poking fun at the irony of being a big fish in a small pond while still evoking a palpable sense of pride for his roots and Main Street USA in general. Speaking of his roots, Harrison is keen to remind us — Nashville may be serious about getting the music perfect, but New Orleans and Louisiana at-large are serious about keeping the music fun. That dichotomy is on full display with Tioga Titan; while the production and songwriting are rock-solid in the Nashville tradition, there’s an undeniable swagger and effortless cool that emanate from these ten tracks. After years spent honing his craft in Nashville, Harrison embraces the new while nodding to the past with a wry grin on this new album, and has managed to create a collection of ten rich and rewarding country songs that showcase a songwriter at the top of his game. Life is complicated; sometimes we need a laugh, sometimes we need to cry, and Tioga Titan offers both in droves as Harrison takes us on a journey towards that light at the end of the tunnel.
