	Ben Harper: Will = Power
		Later that same fall, Ben Harper closed his show at Los Angeles' House of Blues with an a capellaversion of Angelou's poem "And Still I Rise," to which he wrote a melody and recorded for his first album, 1994's Welcome To The Cruel World.
		As the song draws to a close, Ben Harper lifts his clenched fist in the air and stands.
		Despite the differences in mediums, Harper seems a logical successor to poets of the people like Angelou, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and even Walt Whitman, yet his inventive fusion of blues, reggae, rock, gospel, folk and acoustic roots music adds multiple meanings and dimensions to his lyrics.

	CNN - Review: Ben Harper plugs in - October 5, 1999
		Sure, Harper's strength has been in playing an evocative indefinable style of acoustic music on the lap slide guitar, but he loses nothing by turning to more conventional instrumentation and song structure.
		After all, what has made Harper a refreshing voice on the musical landscape is the lack of predictability on his previous albums.
		While other artists were laying down grungy guitar riffs and bemoaning the weaknesses of their inner beings in the early-to-mid-1990s, Harper turned to the Weissenborn lap slide guitar and lyrically tackled spiritual and political issues.
