If there was any justice Nick would be a superstar!! He not only is the best acoustic guitarist I have ever seen but has a great voice and writes incredible songs.
There are many reasons why Nick is not a massive commercial success. The main reason is that he is simply too good for the mindless music business and vacuous audience that supports it. He does not play that game.
This then is Nick’s ninth album aptly titled Nix. (If you haven’t fathomed out the reason for the title then this is probably not the album for you).
If you like your Nick Harper raw and unadorned then this might be just up your street. This is Nick with his guitar and a batch of great new songs. They are, as usual, full of intelligence, insight, lyrical ingenuity and melodic beauty.
The album contains a range of styles but all are adorned with the distinctive crispness of that wonderful guitar-work. Nobody can play a guitar like that! The voice soars. The stories unfold. The melodies unfurl.
The mind becomes engaged on many levels as the appreciation of such talent mesmerises you. This is Nick unencumbered by production. His imagination continues to invent on a level rarely achieved by others.
Nick is one of England’s gems. Support him and buy this great album. you won’t regret it! This is another wonderful album!
