I saw BEN HARPER & Co. on Austin City Limits around 2003 and they blew me away with their unique blend of sounds from nearly the entire music spectrum. I’d seen his albums at retail, but had no idea who and what he was about musically. What a GREAT artist! I immediately went out and bought that mini-box set featuring the first three albums and all the rest as they have been issued. HARPER is an incredible artist and talent,quite the entertaining lyricist, & not to be missed. 2006’s BOTH SIDES OF THE GUN is a brilliantly conceived and executed tour-de-force which should have been nominated for Grammy Album Of The Year. Can’t wait for BEN HARPER’s next album!

Ben Harper has been playing since the early 90’s, and with each new album he opens himself and his audience up to new genres and instrumentation techniques. Start with his early stuff and work your way forward- he’s one of the few musicians who still creates the “total album”, and he’s one of the best musicians in the world.

Ben Harper is the greatest song writer of our generation. And probably the most technically skilled musician as well. For anyone who disagrees with me, just listen to his entire catologue and im sure you wont feel that way anymore.

Ben harper is right up their with the greats of the past. With the differents styles that he has reached for in his music and achieved to a great extent. This song and album will be another stepping stone for him and his fans in his journey through this crazy world.

Merci ben depuis le temps que j’attends
he’s the greatest song writer, i love this man

Beautiful and sweet. we are truley blessed to be living in his generation.

the diverse nature of this man’s talent and musical ability never ceases to astound

Ben Harper creates such wonderful music and I’m so thankful that I started listening to him. I saw him live recently for the first time. If you ever get the chance I recommend you see him & the band, you will not be disappointed!

Jolly good song, kinda chilled out. It does sound a bit like a track from Both Sides of the Gun, not quite like the songs from Ben’s first albums, but hey, it seems as if he’s moving in a different direction so i’ll stick with that even though I’d love to hear something similar to his first works

this cat is beyond the real deal.

Ben Harper is AMAZING. He cannot be put in a box and continues to prove himself with each song he creates. UNREAL!

this man continues to amaze me and brings a smile to my face every time I see him create a new sound….cant wait for album

ben like the wind can change the direction of music and still be way head of his time.his music goes beyond the depth of the soul u cant find a better artist out there . his album change all the time but soul of it stays the same . cant for the life line

The music speaks for itself and has for over a dozen years for this, still, young man!

SEI IL N.1

Amazing offering again from Ben. There is no other artist who delivers such diversity in there sound. From the reggae infused ‘Jah Work’ to the southern sound of ‘Get it like you like it’ you get a great feel of what Ben classes as pure music. On this track you can hear elements of Soul, possibly Marvyn or Curtis. I am in total agreement of his approach as to how it should be done. Too many artists these days are wrapped up in style and fashion. Ben focuses on the music first, because he’s a real musician, he just so happens to look ‘pretty fresh’ at the same time!!!

Peace.

Ben Harper is amazing because his music and his voice enter under your skin and get you high.

It just doesnt get better than this!

I’m really anticipating the new album. I can’t get enough of Ben. He is the premiere musical artist of our generation. His music transcneds classification. If his music doesn’t touch you, your heart is not open enough.

je suis francais et j’ai vu ben harper a lyon en octobre et c’etait vraiment super. c’est le plus grand de sa categorie

just him portugal is waiting..

Someone gave me tickets to a Ben Harper show on the Pier in 97 or 98. I went, never having heard a tune of his..and was completely blown away. I have been a huge fan ever since. He honors his roots while staying true to his voice and his soul – and continues evolving his sound and his skills. Ben is the kind of artist we cherish as there is all too little of this in the music world of today.

mais uma vez sensacional!
o show em São Paulo, no Brasil em janeiro deste ano.

Aguardando que a magia de BHIC de volta ao país…

scrivi canzoni incredibili che mettono il sorriso e emozionano. grande BEN

ive heard two songs from this album so far and they both are amazing….i cant wait for the rest…ben is a gift to us

Wunderbar,wunderbar !
This album promises to be another heartwarmer, yet conscious of all the world around us.
Let’s all petition that somehow a DVD of his Bonnaroo performance is published, that I only had a chance to watch on internet stream.

Maravilhoso…Ben Harper and I.C

Following Ben and his music since 1994 I am always blown away by every tune and I am so thankful that he did not do “the Kravitz” after his first two albums (remember what has become of Lenny Kravitz after two kick-ass releases… it is so sad…).

BUT – his second album will forever be the best piece of music available in our generation. Not even Ben himself will be able to top that. But please do keep trying Ben ;o) it is still way ahead of all the others and brings light into our lives every day.

Marcel (thankful)

Ben Harper and the Innocent crimminals always seem to outdo themselves. This song is so laid back and just chill. I love it! You guys are the best thing I’ve evver heard and I can’t wait to see and hear you guys again. I love you!!!!

I have been a fan for over 10 years. Can’t wait for this “theater tour” to kick off. he blew me away again this year at Bonnaroo, and the super jam he did that Friday night.. yeah it should all be on DVD!! Can’t wait for this CD.

This looks and sounds like another amazing album. They spent 7 days in Paris together creating this and I’m so looking forward to experiencing it all. I’m also looking forward to their the show in November! Peace!

Back in ‘95 a good friend of mine told me to listen to the music of Ben Harper and he assured me, Ben and the IC’s would become by far my favourite band. He was so rhight and guys I love you for what you do!! I’ve seen 5 live shows since and I hope and wish you will come over to Europe with your new album too! The last show I saw was in Amnéville /France and it was absolutely amazing!Unfortunately I will have to wait another 37 days for the new album but I’m sure my patience will be rewarded!

Conocí a Ben Harper, hace ya más de 10 años, en Francia y aún lo sigo. Tengo csi todos sus discos, aunque lamentablemente no lo he podido escuchar jamás en vivo. Ojalá algún día decida viajar con su banda y tocar en un lejano país sudamericano llamado Chile. Gracias por la música.

It’s amazing how the BHIC can speak so effectively into a heart and yet mirror that musical soul-ness of humanity. This is the first song I have heard from his new album… really I feel like like it’s christmas coming early with the arrival of a new album.

Je suis très exitée depuis que je sais que Ben sort un nouvel album, et là grace à vous j’ai pu avoir un avant goût.Inutile de vous dire ke j’adore le titre, c’est un véritable retour au source de la soul music et c’est tout ce que j’aime!!!! Simplement un grand merci à Ben et The Innocent Criminals pour le bonheur et l’émotion que vous me procuré. Info Ben travaille actuellement sur un album reggae en collaboration avec 3 membres des Waillers. Décidement tu ne fini jamais de nous combler. MERCI 1000 fois. GOD BLESSED YOU

Maravilhoso como sempre a música desse californiano é demais, parabe´ns pelo novo album.
