Anybody into Ben Harper?

Thanks for all for your input.

Glad to see somone turned onto Ben Harper after reading here.

I still like Will to Live a lot after extensive listening and I do like all his older albums too. I don't have his two newest, but the live cd sounds promising, and will pick it up hopefully cheaper somewhere.

Kelly, wow, who's your buddy? He is very lucky to have that special master LP!

Saw him on Austin City Limits and was dually impressed!

I recently picked up "There will be a light" - which features Ben Harper with the Blind Boys of Alabama. Absolutley fantastic. I was not familiar with Ben Harper before and bought the CD based on my familiarity with the Blind Boys. I will definitely seek out some more stuff by Harper.

I've been into Ben Harper for a little over a year, when my Brother in Law introduced me to his music.

Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama has had a simialr effect on me, Cruz123, except that it has turned me onto the Blind Boys ... I am now collecting their music.

Do you have any suggestions for Blind Boys music that has good sonics?

Saw Ben and The I.C's. on two occasions in '99 and again in 2000 in Asheville NC. He's way better in concert than on record. Plays nearly the whole concert seated and plays electric on lap and acoustic the usual way. He's also very into rare and exotic electric guitars.The band is currently touring out and about so do go see them if you can!
