Rich Harper learned to play blues guitar the traditional way by primarily being self-taught listening to and learning from the recordings of artists like Eric Clapton, B. B. King, Rory Gallagher, Freddy King, Duane Allman, and so on. Rich developed his own slide style using the same Coricidin medicine bottle as Duane Allman. After paying his “blues dues” in small blue collar towns throughout Pennsylvania, Rich moved to Los Angeles to gather like minded musicians and formed the Rich Harper Blues Band.
With the success of their debut CD, “Don’t Think Just Play”, the Rich Harper Blues Band was not only selected as one of Amazon.com’s prestigious “Emerging New Blues Artists”, but Taxim Records, a German label, joined the group’s growing list of blues fans by placing another cut, “She’s On Her Way Up”, on their compilation album titled “More Desaster City Blues”. It wasn’t long before the band’s name was popping up in blues magazines everywhere and blues societies were urging their members to check out the exciting new group who were carving out a unique niche for themselves in the blues world. By the time the band released their second CD, “Bottled Up Blues”, Europe had jumped on board by making the band the #1 selling artists in Switzerland on Amazon’s charts. Radio stations worldwide welcomed the new CD with open arms and this time one of the cuts, “As She Moved In (My Guitar Moved Out)”, topped Rolling Stone Magazine’s “MP3 & More Blues Chart” at #1. The international blues scene stood up, did a double take, and these talented artists haven’t stopped since.
Since then, the band has toured the world, including their adoptive countries of Scandinavia, and such exotic locales as Asia and Australia. They were also humbled and extremely honored to be part of a group that entertained the U.S. Troops in Iraq in 2004. Rich is also one of the featured artists in Tony Berg’s book on the history of the Amal’s Blues Fest (Sweden) entitled “Blues Unfolded”.

@MrWalker Upon your thoughts I decided to listen to the Self-titled live first. These are the true test of the blues. You also never know who might jump up on stage and jam.
I guess while I think about it I would also like to thank @marc and @marc(fr) for some stellar live abums this past year or 2.
Peace,Love & Blessings
