BEN HARPER "give till its gone" cd, 2011
career stats:
studio albums.............12
singles.......................32
this album...................#15 US...#9 AU
singles:
"rock and roll is free"...........no chart action
"don't give up on me now"...no chart action
Ben's tenth studio album and only one I own....
I used to own "diamonds on the inside" but it seems to have disappeared over several moves of residence....
Ben covers a lot of different genres on his albums, he is just as comfortable in funk, rock, jazz, blues, folk as he is in alt rock and
this album is no different....
i've always thought of his as being similar to Lenny Kravitz in a lot of respects so fans of Lenny will like Benny....
from memory his "diamonds" album was a bit better than this one but this is still pretty darn good to my ears...
two of my three love tracks were issued as singles but its the third one that I love most of all as it does have a Kravitz rock feel to it...
worst track: spilling faith
best track: dirty little lover
