I saw Harvey Andrews play in Lancaster in 1969 and was, like many people gobsmacked by "Soldier", (and many others he sang that night). I immediately bought Writer of Songs and subsequent releases which gradually disappeared with various moves and partners. I recently "discovered" Harvey's website and bought "Writer of Songs" on CD. I played it to my kids aged 19 and 15, and they were completely knocked out by it. I had no idea that it had so many resonances with those directly involved but I'm not surprised. What is amazing and perhaps in some respects rather depressing is that it is still as relevant today. Brilliant brilliant brilliant.
