Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

Probably the best album for this great Artist. Great songs, deep text, and a groove ever shown by Ben. Try to listen it!!

5 stars The best since Hendrix.
Ben Harper is the greatest innovator, his music is so original. Not only does he have the touch of blues, but also he isnt afraid to add religion to his music. For not being commercialy known he can still sell out concert venues. When you see Ben Harper live, he doesnt dazzle you with big expensive light shows or gimmicks, he touches your soul with his music alone.
In closing, Ben Harper is the master of SOUL. The greatest since Jimi Hendrix. Period.

4 stars Musical Love
This is a beautiful album, with a different sound than the later albums. Just Ben, the guitar, and his art. Soft, methodical, and soothing, and with enough soul to break even the coldest of hearts.

Ben Harper Fight For Your Mind CD  (2009)

Welcome To The Cruel World album
CD $11.29  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Available with WELCOME TO THE CRUEL WORLD and THE WILL TO LIVE in THE BEN HARPER BOX SET. With languorous poetry (think 1970s-era Dylan) delivered in a passionate, earthy voice distinctly redolent of Richie Havens, Ben Harper earned immediate attention for his genuine, and often vigorous, brand of bluesy folk rock. He opens his 1995 debut, FIGHT FOR YOUR MIND, in socially conscious mode with the Odetta-esque ...

Available with FIGHT FOR YOUR MIND and WELCOME TO THE CRUEL WORLD in THE BEN HARPER BOX SET. More than just the testosterone Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper's WILL TO LIVE shows him to be an introspective songwriter whose musical horizons have broadened considerably on his third album. Having toured the prior two years with louder groups like Pearl Jam and PJ Harvey may have influenced Harper's ...

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones Come Away With Me CD  (2002)

Welcome To The Cruel World songs
CD $14.69  4 stars Audio Samples
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements. But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery in addition to a precise diction and velvety tone. Shades of Nina Simone, vintage Phoebe Snow, and a less beatnik Rickie Lee Jones are evident throughout as the young siren coolly sashays through mostly new ...
Brushfire Fairytales

Jack Johnson Brushfire Fairytales CD  (2001)

Welcome To The Cruel World album
CD $11.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Johnson's songs are simultaneously well crafted and executed in an almost throwaway manner. "Fortunate Fool" is airy yet acidic--this surfer dude is no airhead--while "F-Stop Blues," on the surface a paean to the surfer lifestyle, is really a lament for wasted time that features Johnson's pleasant, lazy vocals to excellent effect. BRUSHFIRE FAIRYTALES displays the kind of insouciance born of innocence, almost as if no-one involved cared if the album sold ten copies or ten million--and of course that's ...

Ben Harper Diamonds On The Inside CD  (2003)

Welcome To The Cruel World CD music
CD $13.29  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In the three years-plus interim between this and his last studio album, Ben Harper traversed the world, and the already introspective singer/songwriter has clearly done even more soul-searching and emerged with his most earnest (and that's no mean feat), focused set to date. DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE flows organically with that transcendent feeling exemplfied by lines so simple and revealing as "can you look into my eyes, or has your heart gone blind," which harbor the ability to subtly wend their way into the subconscious and the heart simultaneously. Harper's gathered his acclaim via trenchant lyricism and his knack for adeptly and sincerely blending many styles into a rocking, grooving concoction. On "Brown Eyed Blues," he channels Al Green before ...

Highly Evolved
Vines Highly Evolved CD  (2002)

Welcome To The Cruel World songs
CD $14.99  4.7 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Most folks first became aware of Australian rockers the Vines via their cover of the Beatles' "I'm Only Sleeping" on 2001's I AM SAM soundtrack album. A few months down the line, their 2002 debut album HIGHLY EVOLVED took the UK by storm. Shortly thereafter, the album was released in the US with high hopes. The group's basic, no-frills guitar rock should find plenty of friends among fans of the Strokes, the Hives, White Stripes, etc. It's rock & roll stripped to the bone, pared down to charging riffs that reference such evergreen influences as the Stooges and the MC5, and sharp songcraft with echoes ...
