The narration is provided by a single lap-steel guitar and the music references blues and folk as well as flamenco, indian, and classical, but it transcends any specific style. In that, the album philosophically evokes the American Primitive movement pioneered by John Fahey and Leo Kottke, utilizing masterful playing to create an impressionistic and affecting work. As Harper explains, “Hopefully it cuts deep enough where people can see their own experiences in the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love Vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique packaging produced just for vinyl, including the album cover, sleeve, inserts, and records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior lossless audio quality compared to digital formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive, engaged listening experience — from choosing the record from your bin to dropping the needle to flipping the record\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwning the physical copy of the music rather than a digital file, plus most vinyl comes with a digital download included for on-the-go listening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Ben Harper","offers":[{"title":"Black + White \/ One Size","offer_id":44810232758412,"sku":"216106","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3009\/9852\/files\/fXRioYF1hY_ben-harper_winter_is_for_lovers_early_release_on_vinyl_for-her_0_original.jpg?v=1763673762","url":"https:\/\/huckberry.shop\/products\/winter-is-for-lovers-early-release-on-vinyl","provider":"Huckberry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
