“In Searching for Solid Ground, Reggie Harris gifts us with a fascinating and uncompromising account of a life lived in the service of songs' capacity to cross racial boundaries and foster understanding between human beings.” —Gustavus Stadler, author of Woody Guthrie: An Intimate Life “Many of us have applauded the joyous musicianship of Reggie Harris; few of us knew the man. This memoir takes us on his rollercoaster journey from poor roots to celebrity, but, more importantly, exposes a person struggling to heal his personal and racial crises while embracing a greater mission of exorcizing the demons of this conflicted nation. Singing the passion of our history, Harris becomes a prophetic healer. The man is a blessing.” —Robert Shetterly, artist, Americans Who Tell the Truth “It’s everything you would expect from this astonishing human being and so much more. Honest, joyful, brave, funny, and absolutely inspiring. This has my highest recommendation!” —Matt Watroba, producer and host of Folk With Matt Watroba Michigan State Public Media and member of the International Folk Alliance DJ Hall Of Fame
