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!

Stephen is one of our absolute favorite harp guitarists; in fact, one of our favorite musicians, period. As one of the finest composers of our generation - whether it be on 6-string acoustic, bottleneck or his main instrument, the Dyer-style harp guitar - his music will make you smile, laugh and cry. He tours the world as a soloist, and is a frequent participant in several major guitar festivals. Oh, and he won National Championships in both flat- and finger-style guitar. He’d win harp guitar also if they had the category! ~http://www.harpguitarmusic.com

I have loved the Beatles since I started playing guitar in the late '60s. Over the years I have put together solo arrangements of many of their tunes, those presented here and many others. For this recording however, I have gone back and reworked these 15 tunes so that they are as complete as I can make them. With some, I have tossed out my previous arrangments and started over from scratch. They are all in their original key, which sometimes presented a challenge, but I thought it was important that these tunes, which so many people around the globe know, be in the register the boys from Liverpool recorded them... sb
