QUIET BEFORE THE STORM

"I was lucky enough to catch Nick Harper this last weekend at a tiny club in London called the 12 Bar Club. The only thing I knew about him was he was Roy Harper's son. I guarantee Nick Harper wont be playing tiny clubs much longer. He is a killer guitarist with a very original inventive style, a great vocalist and writes great tragic/comic songs. I immediately went out and bought both of his available cd's. The one available hear is I think his first and is mostly acoustic and was similar to his performance. His second cd is a more produced affair (in fact it was produced by Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze) and is also a must own. Buy this cd and check out a major talent in the making, i'm betting on it."
Stunning acoustic rock and suavasous sights and sounds

"Son of Roy Harper, Nick pulls the plugs on the acoustic side of his style. With a powerful voice yet, sometimes delicate playing, these range of songs will suite your taste whatever the mood. Well crafted and atmospheric, as well as offering commentary on various aspects of life he's tasted. He gets better on each album and this will put you well into that folky-rock-classical-blues (whatever(who should classify anyway?)) verve whether you're coming home from the pub at 1 a.m. or driving to work at 8 a.m. Enjoy"
A brilliant first album from Nick Harper, son of Roy Harper.

"This album combines sublime accoustic guitar playing with well crafted songs and pithy lyrics. When I first bought it in 1995 I was blown away - one of the best CDs I've ever heard - I still listen to it every week even now. Go and buy it!!"
