Does anyone like Ben Harper? He's one of my favourite artists mainly because of his honest music and the level of integrity he has kept, which in popular music is a rare thing nowadays. Plus he is wicked live.

Ben Harper is the dad from My Family.

Didn't know he had such a following.

Rock on dad-from-My-Family!

Ben Harper is cool. I love the 'Live From Mars' album. 'Glory & Consequence' is probably my favorite track.

Nice revival Krunk'd. Live from Mars is awesome, The Innocent Criminals are a great band. Welcome to the cruel world is probably my favourite Ben Harper album, top to bottom quality songs.

I like Ben Harper, especially " I shall not walk alone"

So, kool...have you checked out 'Diamonds On The Inside'? That's another good album. 'Amen Omen', 'With My Own Two Hands', 'When She Believes' are great. Plus, he did a duet with Jack Johnson of '...Two Hands' on the Curious George soundtrack; it's good, too.

Ive got a live version of of Harper doing "Throw my arms around you" (?) with eddie vedder.


Have you seen the Pleasure and Pain DVD with the Blind Boys of Alabama? its ace.

Yeah i got that album, When she believes is beautiful. He has a new album coming out soon, i heard it advertised on the radio yesterday:

I just got his new album, 'Two Sides Of The Gun'. I've had a few listens and my first impression is that it's a really excellent album. As the name suggests, it's a split album on 2 CDs. The first CD is full of cool, mellow, melancholy songs; 'Morning Yearning', 'Waiting For You' and 'More Than Sorry' are the stand-outs so far. Then, the second CD is a return to the rockin' roots vibe of 'Guilty & Consequence'. There are some great tracks, but my favorite by far is 'Better Way'. It's got some Eastern jangles going on in there mixed with a great chorus and a rockin' beat.

Anyone else diggin' dis?

did he do a song called 'Walk Away'?

Ya Krunk'd Floo
I must say that I liked this abum a lot when I first played it, but I like it more now. The first CD has so many great songs, but 'More Than Sorry' and 'Reason To Mourn' are really, really beautiful. The second CD is also really good, but - 'Glory & Consequence excluded - I always feel Ben is at his best when he's acoustic and calm.

got it today haven't had much of a chance to listen to it yet...i do like better days though

'More Than Sorry' is such a beautiful-sad song.

His new album is amazing, it could replace Welcome to the cruel world as my favourite. Too early to tell at the moment.

Ya Krunk'd Floo
'Welcome To The Cruel World' is an incredible album, but my favorite recording that he's put out is definitely 'Live From Mars'. Admittedly, it could be considered a greatest hits record, but the way each song connects to the preceeding one marks it out as something else. My favorite song will always be 'Glory & Consequence'; I love the guitar riff on that.

The new album is great. I liked 'Diamonds On The Inside' too, but 'Two Sides Of The Gun' is much better. Personally, I like the slower CD the best.
