Album Notes

Chris Harford began writing songs and playing guitar while attending Princeton High School in the mid-70s. A self-taught player and painter with a degree in performance art from Massachusetts College of Art, his first glimpse of indie success came in the early 80s with Three Colors, a self-propelled recording band based in Boston (and comprised of Harford, Hub Moore of Slash/London's HUB and Dana Colley of DreamWorks' Morphine).
This prolific songwriter began developing his solo career by producing two collections of demos entitled, The Saddest Songs Ever and The Anatomy of Melancholy. Recorded over a period of four years with Adam Lasus at Studio Red in Philadelphia, PA, and Greg Frey at Graphic Sound Studios in Ringoes, NJ, some of those very songs appeared on Chris' Elektra Records debut, Be Headed.Since Be Headed, Chris has released the double CD, Band of Changes, Comet, Wake, Sing, Breathe and Be Merry and Live at CBs 313 Gallery.
