Ben Harper, "Lifeline"
Ben Harper has released several albums encompassing
a wide range of styles, and they are proof not only
of his eclecticism, but also of his talents as songwriter,
guitarist, and performer. So it comes as no surprise
that his latest album entitled "Lifeline"
is another knock out of the park. After a long tour,
the band rehearsed, and recorded directly to analog
tape (like without the aid of computers) and mixed
it all in seven days. They ended up with a consistent,
focused, and very laid-back record that is deeply
soulful, and demonstrates some of Ben Harper's finest
songwriting to date.
