Landing the week before Mother's Day, the ten songs on Childhood Home, six written by Ben and four written by Ellen, explore the intricacies of family life with honesty and generous intimacy. Ben Harper produced Childhood Home "like early Elvis," he told Rolling Stone, after he and Charlie Musselwhite won the "Best Blues Album" GRAMMY Award for last year's critically acclaimed Get Up! (Stax/Concord). "Not one thing is plugged in. It's all acoustic. I think they're going to call it 'Americana,' but it's soul, California, folk rock, American."
Stream Ben and Ellen's "Altar of Love" - "a moving waltz-time country ballad with a vintage AM radio feel" - at the Journal: http://shorefi.re/1h8AO41
'Childhood Home' comes out on May 6, 2014 on Prestige Folkways.
