Well that's the only Ben Harper record I own so I dont know much about his music to be honest. I first came across him when you played him on one of your radio shows one night. When I came across it in the shop I did a quick search for reviews of this album on the phone and most of them were very favourable.
I found the record suprisingly good and I'm pretty sure its gonna get plenty more spins over the coming weeks. The pressing itself is perfect, as good as vinyl gets.
