Super-magnificant Ben Harper and his equally super-mag band of Innocent Criminals have revealed info on thier next studio effort through their website.
BHIC's second double album (the first being 'Live On Mars') will hit stores March 21st, 2006. Titled Both Sides of the Gun will contain 18, come on say it with me, 18 new songs....my ears just cannot wait.
I made the mistake of not paying attention when I first saw him (June 4th, 1996). Fortunately my second job in music (during college and on the first day of work) would bring me back to his music...and for that I am very thankful. Ben Harper is a brilliant songwriter...very descriptive and completely emotional. His music and lyrics have helped me through tough times as well as aided me in having some damn good ones.
A couple songs to get the excitement going...a little early Ben Harper here from a Piermont, NY show October 20th of 1994.
I'm pretty excited about this record. There's some exciting releases on the horizon: Ben Harper, Matisyahu, Benevento Russo Duo, Mogwai, etc.
I'm super bummed though that Harper is playing Orlando about eight weeks after I moved. He's coming to Athens, GA...but that's about a four or five hour drive and I have to pick and choose now that I have a child!
