He kicked it for the conscious popster on 'Cruel World' and 'Fight For Your Mind' - now the man for all sessions is back with an ever vital disc of righteous rock.
"He kicked it for the conscious popster on 'Cruel World' and 'Fight For Your Mind' - now the man for all sessions is back with an ever vital disc of righteous rock.
Harper's holistic world view shines through some already glowing instrumentation with folksy numbers like "Homeless Child" and "Roses From My Friends" offering the problems and some answers while multi-instrumentalist Ben plays guitar plaintive enough to make your speakers shed a tear.
The cover image shows Ben looking distinctly Marley and that's not inappropriate, nor are the photos of Sancho Morato and Diego de Miranda behind him - if ever there was a cultural revolutionary for the nineties, it's Ben Harper. Buy his record."
