Details: Product Description Featuring the First Single "With My Own Two Hands". Amazon.ca We hear this voice like a sob. We hear fingers sliding to caress the strings. It's Ben Harper who sings, with all the heart that a man can put into an artistic creation. The song is called "Amen One" or "With My Own Two Hands", and it is a divine poem that the singer-guitarist chose to sing. A kind of gospel of the future, a cry that passes and continues, that already comes from afar. It is even deep in Africa that he found the intonations of "Picture Of Jesus" with Lady Smith Black Mambazo, this overwhelming men's choir that responds to him. Always reaching for all the sources of his music, he intelligently feeds whole tracks with vintage funk ("Brown Eyed Blues"), playing a formidable groove on the wah-wah pedal. And as Ben Harper is a false calm, a peaceful awaiting his hour, when the intro of "So High So Low" appears, we find ourselves lifted from the armchair by the power and the rage of the assault. It's hard not to feel very quickly, listening to these songs of mind and body, all the complexity of a man in perpetual quest. He has already found with this sixth album, between soulful folk and rock without borders. --Jose Ruiz
