Harper Simon is the work of an exceptionally gifted singer-songwriter and guitarist who’s clearly discovered who he is and found his own way as a recording artist in a time when the very concept of recording an album seems threatened.

For Harper Simon, the opportunity to make his own album here was a matter of no small consequence. “The long playing album is the great artistic medium invented in the second half of the 20th century,” says Simon. “The long playing album is not just ten songs thrown together randomly. It has an arc. It has a structure. It is the attempt to make ten songs that are all as good as each other, and fit together in a seamless whole…”

The Harper Simon that emerges here as a significant new artist with talent to burn and a real seriousness of purpose understands full well that “there really are more wishes than stars”.

So sang Dan Bern in one of his early songs. But really we all just live in Dan’s world, and he’s been generous enough to let us believe otherwise all along. Let’s face it: the man has more stray thoughts, makes more obscure and askant connections, tries on more hats, slips into more pairs of shoes, eavesdrops on more conversations, reads more minds, and hears more voices than the rest of us. And what a lucky break for us that he’s had a pen laying around to document, describe, and share so many of them.


Nicole Reynolds will be opening.
