I haven't seen him play for years, but I saw him many times in the 60s and 70s. Uncompromising songs. Where is he when we need him now?
I Hate the White Man - from the album Flat Baroque and Berserk, I learned this song, along with most of the others when I was an earnest teenager. It made me very uncomfortable to sing it, but it is a great protest song. "You are who you think you are".

The Lord's Prayer - many of his songs were very long and I found myself pulled into his world. This is a short extract from the beginning of one of them.
Again, so many songs I could have chosen. Maybe I should have included some of his more accessible ones but, then, it wouldn't be right to listen to Roy Harper without having to do at least a little work!
