Stephen’s latest CD is a guest release on the Harp Guitar Music label, and an amazing, unprecedented work in every way. It’s one of the coolest “concept albums” one could imagine – Classic Rock tunes on harp guitar! Most are covered here for the first time ever as solo instrumental acoustic fingerstyle arrangements. This is the CD that Stephen Bennett was born to make and that Baby Boomers (and their children) everywhere will fall in love with!
Stephen cut his teeth in various rock bands, and these tunes are in his blood. But they’re more than nostalgia; they are great, classic tunes. And so he’s arranged 15 memorable songs by many of his favorite rock bands and performers. And not just his – a lot of us grew up on these songs, and they play them to this day on “Classic Rock” stations for new fans the world over.
It was high time to revisit them (no pun intended). Amazingly, the acoustic Dyer harp guitar proved itself the perfect instrument to capture and distill all the guitars, bass, drums, organs and vocals of the original classics. But of course, only master Bennett could pull it all off!
Go ahead and download it (soon) from your favorite Internet service, but you don’t want to be without the groundbreaking (and authentically psychedelic) CD itself. It even comes with a “mini Rock poster” inside!
You will find no better mood-enhancing drug (and natural!) than to immerse yourself “in the garden of Stephen.”
REVIEWS
"Now that the baby boomers are aging onwards, it’s a good time to reflect back on some of the great songs that shaped our various childhoods. A fitting place to start is with a 2010 release from the pioneering Harp Guitar Music label, started up by guitar guru Gregg Miner. Miner and his label strike harp guitar gold with the 2010 CD from guitar icon Stephen Bennett, appropriately entitled In-A-Gadda-Da-Stephen. A mix of late ‘60s classics from the dawn of the golden era of ‘60s classic rock, the 15 cut In-A-Gadda-Da-Stephen might be missing the classic Iron Butterfly track for which it’s named but there's plenty more here including solo instrumental acoustic harp guitar covers of classics made famous by The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Procol Harum, Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, Rolling Stones, Cream and more. Such is Bennett’s authentic command of the acoustic harp guitar that he sounds like a virtual one man guitar army, filling in the melody and rhythm with some propulsive percussive backing—all played simultaneously on his famous acoustic harp guitar. As great as the music here sounds, one must also applaud Miner and his label for packaging the CD quite appealingly in a nostalgic ‘60s style, adding in track by track liner notes and psychedelic poster." - Robert Silverstein, Music Web Express 3000
