Ben Bedford - Portraits (2020)

"Portraits" is a specially for UK and Europe curated retrospective collection of songs from my first three albums: "Lincoln's Man" - "Land of the Shadows" - "What We Lost". I'm calling this collection simply, "Portraits", as each of these tracks is, in one way or the other, a kind of portrait. Some are people. Some are places. Some are events. Some are memories. I have attempted to craft vignettes that engage the senses. With a small dose of the suspension of disbelief, I want to take you on a journey with each of these songs, these portraits.
