Ben Harper has been on the scene now for over ten years, with six solid studio efforts under his belt, including last years critically acclaimed collaboration with the Blind Boys of Alabama, There Will Be A Light.
Also of note that set was the Harper staple, "Burn One Down," which always seems to politely invite everyone in attendance to break out whatever utensils they might have hidden in their socks and purses and fill the venue with a distinct cloudy layer of smoke much to the security guards chagrin.
While the set had it's moments, it was annoyingly abrupt and as Ben and the band said good night, one had to wonder if they were in a hurry to get to San Francisco.

By: Mark A. Lawrence the IV What Ben Harper dipped his toes into on Burn to Shine, he threw himself head first on the forthcoming Diamonds On the Inside.
Especially in a time when it's not fashionable to bring up the subject of Christianity except in Christian specific music, Ben Harper sticks to his guns and sings songs that strongly expresses his beliefs.
