NEW BEN HARPER SONG ABOUT NEW ORLEANS - "BLACK RAIN" |
|
<www.toolz.blogs.com>
Always a folk symphony, a simple but wise poet, and known for political opuses like "Like a King," Ben Harper has quickly put out one of his strongest songs in years.
I urge you to check it out and share the link.
Shared with me by my friend Evil Vince who tours with Ben.

2. this is one of his best in years, right? |
|
I keep listening to it, he put all of himself in there.
I guess somedays you wake up and realize anew why you do what you do.

4. I've never heard of him |
|
But I really like the song. It reminds me of Bill Withers.

5. in the picture on my blog, he's with Eddie Vedder |
|
if that helps give an idea of his caliber and style. He has maybe five albums.
He won a grammy last year for producing the Blind Boys of Alabama album.

You're reminding me why I've loved since "Welcome to the Cruel World".
