With Winter Is For Lovers, Ben Harper embarks on an intimate journey, weaving a mesmerizing tapestry of sound through the delicate voice of his lap-steel guitar. This 2020 release showcases Harper’s evocative instrumental storytelling across fifteen continuous movements, each brimming with smoky soul, wistful Americana, and summery folk influences. Revered for its emotional depth and subtle virtuosity, the album stands as a testament to Harper’s unique place within the worlds of rock and folk music.
This standout instrumental work invites listeners into a meditative experience—echoing the poetic slide guitar tradition of artists like Ry Cooder, but with a consistent flow that keeps you within its gentle embrace from start to finish. Meticulously crafted with the help of talented assistant engineers, Winter Is For Lovers offers a rare chance to explore the art of storytelling without words, making it a truly special addition to Ben Harper’s celebrated discography.
