Actually, almost all of the people from Kentucky whom I've met are very nice, with one major exception (Oh Carla Curry, you know it's true). I've never been to the Bluegrass state but I'm sure it's a great place. What's with the dental deficiency, though? 

 
The dental issues are usually related to income.  The more rural a place is, the lower the average income, and most employers don't provide dental coverage.  

With a few exceptions, food in some areas of Appalachia  falls into 3 categories.  Sweet, salty, and mushy.  There is a good chance that everything fixed in that area will exist in at least one of those categories.

Literally the only Ben Harper song I have ever liked. True story.

Coming in a stretch of impressive Guitar Numbers, this one still rocks pretty solidly!

I like Justified too, thanks to RP I now know who's responsible for the theme.
My only problem with Justified; I sometimes have to pause, rewind, turn it up and play it back a few times so I decipher  what the hell they are all talking about.

No wait. its these guys.

I'm with cc. my, i am old, and this track is fine, but Ben is no comparison with LS. Having seen them 3 times in small auditoriums before the tragedy, they were ever so impressive in person. I believe they actually opened for Marshall Tucker 1 show, and they just rocked the house. Great live band, and tight.

 I love the guitar work and I'm sure it's just this song but Ben sounds like, gulp, Lenny Kravitz on this.

"Gimme' back my bullet"...

Actually it's nice hearing Ben awake when he sings for once. 

Edit: oops. seems I said the same once before. Still holds...

It seems someone taught Ben how to open his mouth and use his lungs when he sings too!

Me, too. I like this - I like most of what I've heard from Ben Harper - and once I get a new MP3 player (my MP3-player-gift from Mick finally shot craps, but I loved the hell out of it, just like I love the hell out of RP music), Ben Harper will be on my list.

Music, people. MUSIC! Not politics, racism, economy - MUSIC. There are other forums for the by-blows of music with politics/racism/economy/other stuff. I'm trying to adhere to the rules.
