Me too! I think today is going to be a Ben Harper listening day. The first verse struck a particular chord. Perfect, classic Harper for me.

I’m pretty sure all Harper fans here would be aware that he did a song on the forthcoming coming Nick Drake covers album. I’m looking forward to that as well.

Yup. Really looking forward to that cover & his new album. Ben is the best.

Wonder if he’ll ever do another album with Relentless 7? I really like the hard edge to this outfit!

Agree. Looked at tour dates and love Ben....but never better to me than on the Backspacer tour when it was BH & R7.

Would love that. Just a totally different vibe & energy. Love the Innocent Criminals as well, just very different.

+1!

I also enjoy his collaboration w/ Charlie Musselwhite! Technically, Give Till It's Gone, Get Up! and No Mercy In This Land are BH w/ CM & R7!

Wide Open Light Is a family of songs I’ve written. I’ve selected them with the care one might put into a personal photo album. To that effect, I’d call it a sonic family photo album, each track a close relative to the next. The story behind this record is simple. I have been writing songs now for over 30 years. It’s what I long to do, love to do, and at times feel I need to do, and hope to continue doing until the ink runs dry and the notes fade. But for now, Wide Open Light. ~ Ben Harper
