I've been casually listening to Ben Harper's music for the last couple of years and I find his straight to the point folk-blues rock a fireball of emotions and energy. Both sides of the Gun wakes up the listener with wide-ranging musical styles. His heart and soul cries out to be heard while his voice and talent for musical story telling flows like a singular lighthouse beacon among today's mostly undistinguished musicians. He is a musician, an artist, and a nonconformist maverick.
