There are just too many horrible real-world scenarios keeping me from enjoying this photo (or the music). Shame on you. Why the negativity? It could be taking a photo of a sexy day in the country, or maybe - god forbid - art! I actually think its a lovely image. Perhaps you need to wonder why you think in such a negative manner. |

You can see his apparition right in front of her. |

Not even close. If you don't know Ben yet, you are missing out. |

Nice, Ben, but time to expand the envelope and push the limits.

I actually think this is one of his best albums. There are more than a few solid songs on this album that I think trully kick ass (ex. Bring the Funk). Don't really care if there are a few people that could do without the Ben Harper, since you can't please everyone. Keep playing the good tunes Bill. RP is the best.

Anybody else heard that? Like I said, Ben himself is not my thing, but that's a GREAT cover (almost better than the original).
what about the cover of his album? i love ben harper, although i havent heard much of the diamonds album. I love the cover art. |
