Lançou um grande catálogo de discos (22 álbuns de estúdio e 10 álbuns ao vivo), a maioria disponível em sua gravadora “Science Friction” (como CD e/ou via download).
Musicalmente, Lead Belly, cantor americano de blues e Woody Guthrie, cantor folk americano foram suas primeiras influências e, em sua adolescência, o músico de jazz Miles Davis. Harper também foi exposto à música clássica em sua infância e chamou a atenção para a influência de Jean Sibelius' Suite Karelia. Influências líricas incluem o Romantismo do século 19 (especialmente Percy Shelley) e o poema de John Keats, “Endymion”.
Como músico, Harper é conhecido por sua técnica “fingerstyle”, ou seja, tocar as cordas diretamente com a ponta dos dedos ou unhas, produzindo composições complexas, longas e líricas, resultado de seu amor pelo jazz e Keats.
Sua influência foi reconhecida por muitos músicos, como Jimmy Page e Robert Plant do Led Zeppelin (a canção “Hats Off to (Roy) Harper” foi em sua homenagem), Pete Townshend do The Who, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd (que o convidou para cantar em “Have a Cigar") e Ian Anderson do Jethro Tull, que afirmou que Harper “era a sua principal influência no violão acústico e como compositor".
Mais recentemente, a influência de Harper alcançou outros artistas, como “Fleet Foxes”, banda acústica de Seattle, Jonathan Wilson, músico e produtor americano e a harpista californiana Joanna Newsom, com quem também fez uma turnê.
Em 2011, Harper completou 70 anos e realizou um concerto de comemoração no Royal Festival Hall em Londres.
Embora tenha lançado em 2013 seu álbum mais recente, “Man and Myth” hoje ele encontra-se oficialmente "aposentado", vivendo em um canto isolado da Irlanda. Fonte: Wikipédia. Tradução por: Francisco Pimentel.
