In the hands of Bryan Bowers, the autoharp is an orchestra. On Friend for Life, a rainbow of sonorities - drones, chimes, chords, melodic runs - accompany his soulful, rugged voice. The autoharp's otherworldly clang is at the center of these twenty-one extraordinary new tracks from this under-recorded virtuoso. Mountain folk, bluegrass, country, and gospel all grace his fingertips, but the end result sounds like nothing but Bryan Bowers, warm-hearted troubadour and gritty songster.
