Mixtape by Aaron Levin Harder / Released May 1, 2020
‘I Am: The Ultimate Blues Experience’ is a mixtape of previously unreleased material from Aaron Levin Harder which was released in advance of all releases from The Aaron Levin Harder Legacy that arrived in 2020 after New Year’s Eve, as a prelude to the material that was to be released throughout the year. It includes alternate takes of previously released recordings, raw demo takes, and excerpts of material that was to arrive the following months, all mixed together to provide a complete listening experience. Also featured in the mix are spoken word segues by Aaron Levin Harder that have been taken from the introductional monologue of the unfinished ‘The Blues’ studio album, which finds him narrating about the blues, his musical approach to it, and his own experiences throughout the progression of the mixtape. This unique collection of previously unreleased material provides the deepest insights into the wide range of unfinished works and sketches from Aaron Levin Harder, and also directly presents his personal thoughts on what exactly the blues is.
