just picked it up... having my first listen now.... instantly dig it.... drums are kinda lo-fi sounding

skin thin
up to you
lay there and hate me

there are other cool tracks too
Amazing album!!!

"life line" is another newish release and has some top songs on there too.
my favourite being "heart matters"

Harper's clearly evolving

yeah i have life line


ever see him live?.... i've seen him a few times.... i always walk away from a ben harper show feeling great

never seen him live. I imagine I'd like it though.
I've got that double live cd he put out years ago. The first cd is amazing, I like it when he rocks it up. I've problems with the heavy Gospel stuff he's done on his previous albums.

What was the album he released before Lifeline?
Was it any good?

i think it was 'both sides of the gun'... LOVE it... double album..one kinda laid back acoustic style and the other rocks... definitely worth checking out

no, I was thinking of something with "blind boys" in the title

There will be a light

is the album I was thinking of
With the blind boys of Alabama

How is this album

And thanks for the tip "Both sides of the gun"

Rightly said:

i thought into the light was before both sides... could be wrong though
again... it's great... different ... but i love it... just my opinion though

i think they released a dvd too... so there's probably lots you could check out on youtube to see if it's your bag

one thing with ben.... his raw passion always shines through
