Ben Harper and his mother Ellen have collaborated to create Childhood Home an absorbing, deeply personal collection of original songs. The ten songs on Childhood Home, six written by Ben and four written by Ellen, explore the intricacies of family life with honesty and generous intimacy.

Ben Harper produced Childhood Home "like early Elvis," he told Rolling Stone, after he and Charlie Musselwhite won the "Best Blues Album" GRAMMY Award for 2013's critically acclaimed Get Up! (Stax/Concord). "Not one thing is plugged in. It's all acoustic. I think they’re going to call it ‘Americana,’ but it’s soul, California, folk rock, American."
