A SMALL PASSAGE ABOUT THE ALBUM THAT I FOUND:
1966's SOPHISTICATED BEGGAR is Roy Harper's first album, and although it's almost by necessity a bit weak and tentative in comparison to more fully-realized later efforts like FLAT BAROQUE AND BERSERK or STORMCOCK, it's nonetheless a remarkable debut. Entirely acoustic, with none of the rock influence so important to his later work, this is Harper's folkiest album, and his trademark acoustic 12-string sounds terrific in these stripped-down surroundings. The songs already show flashes of the humor, bile and quirkiness of later Harper albums, and tunes like the tender "My Friend" and the howling "Committed" reveal the songwriting paths Harper would take in the future. All in all, SOPHISTICATED BEGGAR is that rarity, a debut album that doesn't deserve to be repudiated by its maker. why not check out global-emorium.co.uk
