Well, I guess the streak of good music had to end sometime. PSD, take me away!

A lot of what I've heard today is tied rhythmically, this to Fleetwood Mac's "World Turning"—earlier the Stones "Sympathy for the Devil" and the Dandy Warhols' "Bohemian Like You." Bill always has a sly trick or two up his sleeve.

Wait, I'm not sure if I got it - What kind of child?

We used to sit watching a heavily used video recorded from the tv of Ben Harper being interviewed and playing.  He was clearly stoned to the eyeballs, which i can appreciate, and hell could he talk some shit.  I'm sure the neighbours used to hear us as, stoned to the eyeballs, we shouted "Shut up and play Ben!".  I later shouted this during one of his concerts during a moment of reminiscing.  I'll go as far as saying in jokes are not really appreciated by some hardcore fans.

This got an 8 from me within the first 3 bars ... I suppose I just like a real good drivin' beat, from a band that's groovin'.

Now to listen to the rest of it.

I think the production on this was supposed to sound like those old Delta recordings. Love Ben, but this one is not one of his better efforts.

Ben's version of this song is nasal, whiny, and mixed horribly.  The whole thing sounds like you're listening to it through a tin can.  Charlie Musselwhite does a MUCH better job with this one.

It's really hard to listen to this nasal whining. Add in the fact that he's repeating the same 4 or 5 words for the entire song and it's just downright painful.

As much as I love Ben, I can't help but think of how he might've tried to clone Clapton's "Motherless children"; And to be honest, Eric's song beats the crap out of this one.

Rockin' good start to the morning. Thanks, Bill
Bo Diddley I dunno. I can hear several influences in this cut. All of them good.

There are some awesome cuts from that album. Not every song is great but I think it's worth purchasing (especially if you buy it from iTunes for $9.99) and use the RP link
