    When you mention the name Roy Harper to even the most informed US music aficionado, the extent of recognition is usually a response that’s some mixture of “oh yeah, ‘Hats Off to Harper’, that Led Zeppelin song" (which was a tribute), or “he sang lead on Pink Floyd’s ‘Have a Cigar.’” If you look him up in any historical book or biography, critics use all manner of adjectives to describe him: Influential, controversial, idiosyncratic, eccentric, intelligent, poetic (read more)
