Songs Of Love And Loss (Download)

My love songs are often hidden by the more epic things I attempt. It's been a long time ambition of mine to gather a dynamic mix of them together in just their own context. It was a rewarding labour of love for me! The two albums presented here contain songs specially selected from their original records and digitally re-mastered to work as two dynamically unique albums in their own right. We've added a digital booklet including notes, lyrics and photos. Hope you enjoy it. –roy

Reviews...

"A very special singer-songwriter" - Uncut

"The 23 tracks here radiate a quiet but mesmerising power" - Classic Rock

"A master at work" - Daily Mirror

"Nothing here is anything less than sublime" - The Wire

"A perfect introduction to a great man" - The Sun

"Forget the Dylan at 70 celebrations that will be all over the media this year, there's another unique septuagenarian voice equally deserving of your attention." - Subba-cultcha.com

"This compilation is a powerful restatement of Harper's core talents, even though it only hints at his considerable versatility and his vaunting ambition. HIs songs are more than worthy of rediscovery - and it is wonderful that his compilation and the ensuing reissue programme may bring him to an entirely new audience within his own lifetime." - Music OMH

"Harper's tunes burn with an intensity that even the airiest of melodies can't cool, fanned by a lifelong allergy to authority and an intractable belief in everybody's basic right to do whatever they like. - Word
