    get (Burn to Shine) or (Fight For Your Mind) both great albums, but either way all his all albums are great.

    Fight for Your Mind or The Will to Live are good choices to start and try to get your hands on some boots, Ben like PJ is so so much better live than studio.

    I think his newest one, Both Sides of the Gun, is his best. It has ten rock oriented tracks where he shows his political and funky sides. Then there's a more personal, acoustic based disc and overall it just plays out as a diverse and great album.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    I would say you;d be goos to get anything really,

    Probably Fight For Your Mind or Live From Mars would be the best to get you started.

    Get Live From Mars. It's two discs. The first disc is the uptempo rockin' funky, light stuff. The second disc is just Ben doing his solo acoustic thing, his other side. Really really mellow beautiful cool songs with great simple guitar. Some slide guitar, fingerpicking, and strumming.

    Ground on Down on disc one will BLOW YOUR MIND. Heavy electric slide guitar, zeppeliny.

    I'd highly recommend Diamonds on the Inside, but any thing you choose it'll be a good cd.

    It's so good it makes you forget the title of the album?

    Both Sides of the Gun is quite good. I recommend Fight For Your Mind to begin with.

    I'm not saying stupidity should be a capital offence, but what say we take the safety labels off everything and let nature run it's course?
